The fantastic harmony of plump shrimp, savory eggs, and salty soy sauce! Here’s a super simple Shrimp Soy Sauce Egg Rice recipe you can whip up in just 5 minutes. Enjoy a satisfying meal in one bowl.
Main Ingredients
- 10 Frozen shrimp (thawed)
- 2 Bowls of warm rice
- 3 Tbsp Cooking oil
- 4 Fresh eggs
- 4 Tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp Savory sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp Toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, confirm and prepare all your ingredients. Crack 4 fresh eggs into a clean bowl and beat them well with a fork or whisk to create egg wash. Removing the egg whites’ membrane will result in a smoother scrambled egg.
Step 2
Thaw the frozen shrimp by briefly soaking them in cold water. Once thawed, pat them dry with a paper towel and cut them into bite-sized pieces. The key is not to overcook them to maintain their firm, juicy texture.
Step 3
Now, heat a frying pan over medium heat and add 3 tablespoons of cooking oil. Add the thawed and prepared shrimp and stir-fry until lightly browned. You’ll notice a delicious aroma as the shrimp cooks.
Step 4
As the shrimp turns pink and cooks, push them to one side of the pan to create space. Carefully pour the beaten egg mixture into the empty space and scramble the eggs. Once the eggs begin to set, gently mix them with the shrimp and continue to cook. It’s best to mix when the eggs are still soft and creamy.
Step 5
Add the 2 bowls of warm rice to the frying pan. Use a spatula to gently break up any clumps of rice and mix it with the other ingredients.
Step 6
Push the rice and ingredients to one side of the pan again, and pour 4 tablespoons of soy sauce into the empty space. As the soy sauce heats up, it will begin to caramelize, creating a delicious depth of flavor. Once the soy sauce starts to bubble, mix it thoroughly with all the ingredients. It’s important to stir-fry until the soy sauce evenly coats the rice grains.
Step 7
Continue to stir-fry until the soy sauce has coated the rice well and the white parts of the rice are no longer visible. Stir-fry until everything is evenly coated and looks appetizingly browned. This step will help the rice grains become slightly fluffy and delicious.
Step 8
Just before removing the pan from the heat, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds over the stir-fried rice for added nuttiness. The aroma of the sesame seeds will spread throughout the dish, enhancing the overall flavor.
Step 9
Finally, drizzle 2 tablespoons of sesame oil to finish! The rich aroma of sesame oil will balance the flavors and further enhance the taste of all the ingredients. Mix well and enjoy immediately while it’s warm!
