👨🍳 Instructies
- 1
Prepare all your ingredients: In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and white pepper. Dice the char siu into small, uniform pieces. Ensure shrimp are peeled, deveined, and patted dry. Slice the scallions, separating the white/light green parts from the dark green tops. Mince the garlic (if using). Have the day-old rice, peas, and soy sauce ready near your cooking station.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Cook the eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Pour in the beaten eggs and swirl to create a thin omelet. Cook for about 30-60 seconds until just set. Gently break the egg into bite-sized pieces using your spatula. Remove the scrambled egg from the wok and set aside.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 3
Stir-fry aromatics and proteins: Add another tablespoon of oil to the hot wok. Add the minced garlic (if using) and the white/light green parts of the scallions. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the diced char siu and shrimp. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 4
Add rice and peas: Push the ingredients to the sides of the wok, creating a well in the center. Add the day-old rice to the center. Break up any clumps with your spatula. Stir-fry the rice for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to heat through and slightly toast. Add the frozen green peas and stir everything together to combine.
⏱️ 4 minutes - 5
Combine and season: Return the scrambled eggs to the wok. Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil (if using) over the rice. Stir-fry vigorously for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper if needed.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 6
Finish and serve: Stir in most of the dark green scallion tops, reserving some for garnish. Give it a final toss. Serve immediately, garnished with the remaining scallion greens.

💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Day-old rice is essential for achieving a fluffy, non-sticky fried rice. Freshly cooked rice contains too much moisture.
- ✓High heat is key for authentic wok-fried flavor. Ensure your wok or skillet is properly preheated before adding ingredients.
- ✓Mise en place (preparing all ingredients before cooking) is crucial for stir-frying, as the cooking process is very fast.
- ✓Don't overcrowd the wok. If necessary, cook in batches to ensure ingredients stir-fry rather than steam.
