SHRIMP FRIED RICE CHINESE RECIPES

Steps:

• Cook brown rice according to package directions and set aside to cool.
• If making pineapple bowls, cut each pineapple in half and hollow out both halves to make 4 bowls.
• Cut a piece off the bottom of the pineapple halves to create a flat base.
• Cut the pineapple into small pieces and set aside.
• Heat a nonstick wok on high heat; when hot add oil.
• Add shrimp and cook a few minutes until just opaque, 3 to 5 minutes; set aside.
• Add the scallions, chili and garlic to the wok. Saute about 1 minute, then add the rice, shrimp and pineapple and stir a few times.
• Add soy sauce and fish sauce, stir to mix all the ingredients and cook another 30 seconds.
• Divide and transfer into the hollowed out pineapples and garnish with cilantro.

Steps:

• If using frozen shrimp, defrost under cold running water, then clean, de-vein, and remove tails of shrimp. If using cooked shrimp or crab, add it when the veggies are almost done.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in wok on medium high heat. When oil is hot, add shrimp and stir-fry until pink. Then remove them from wok.
• Add garlic and white onion to wok, and after they are soft add the other veggies. You can really use just about any veggie with this.
• When veggies are mostly done, move them to the sides of the wok, creating a hole of bare pan on the bottom. Pour in beaten egg. Let it scramble a bit and break it into smaller pieces.
• Add rice to the wok, and return shrimp to the wok. Add the green onions, and the five spice powder and soy sauce to taste. Add 1 tablespoon more oil to the rice. Stir to fry the rice and combine the seasonings. Add vegetable oil if you need more oil.
