Ingredients
 

  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  • 2 eggs scrambled
  • 2 cups uncooked jasmine rice
  • 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
  • 1/4 tsp finely ground white pepper
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 tbsp light or premium soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 lb Chinese barbecue pork (cha siu) or ham
  • 10 pieces raw shrimp peeled, deveined
  • 1/2 cup green peas
  • 1/4 cup scallions julienned

Instructions
 

  • Rice | If you're using fresh rice, add one cup of rice into the pot of a rice cooker. Rinse until it runs clear of starches. Drain and add enough filtered water to the pot according to the instructions on the package and steam, 30 minutes.
  • Prep | While the rice is steaming, bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat.
    If you’re using frozen peas, add them to the boiling water and cook until softened. Drain the peas and set them aside.
    Add the shrimp to the same pot of boiling water and cook for 2 minutes or until it's almost fully cooked. Drain the shrimp and set them aside.
    Cut the pork or ham into equal-sized cubes.
  • Fried Rice | Heat a large pan over high heat and add oil to the pan. Wait until the oil is hot and smoking.
    Add the scrambled eggs to the pan and cook until they are almost set. Add the rice to the pan and stir to combine with the eggs. Break up any clumps of rice.
    Add the chicken powder, white pepper, sea salt, soy sauce, and oyster sauce to the pan. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
    Turn the heat down to medium and add the cooked peas, pork, shrimp, and scallions to the pan. Stir everything together until evenly distributed and the shrimp is fully cooked. Serve the fried rice hot.
