Do The Wok: Shrimp Fried Rice

shrimp fried rice

sometimes i too want to eat greasy local Chinese food. but since my grandfather never allowed us to have anything beyond shrimp fried rice from them and he & I dining time was one of the most exciting things we did together my undying love for shrimp fried rice is simply tireless.  what makes it even more amazing is that Ikea sells Wok's for $4.99 and you too should invest like I did.

necessary ingredients:

1 lbs large shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1 cup of snow peas
1 cup chopped bok choy
1/2 green scallions

2 finely chopped garlic cloves
1/2 cup of white onion
1 scrambled egg
1 cup cooked brown rice
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 very very teriyaki sauce
2 tbsp of EVOO


in a sauce pan, boil and prepare rice as printed instructions direct. oil wok with EVOO, drop in garlic, white onion,  bok choy, and soy sauce.  cook for 5 minutes over medium heat. add in snow peas, scallions, and shrimp cook until shrimp is done.

while the first round of vegetables are cooking, in a  separate bowl crack and scramble egg. prepare scrambled egg in a separate skillet.

add brown rice and cooked egg to shrimp and vegetables combo in wok. add in the teriyaki sauce, toss and cook for 3 minutes. plate and serve.
