Instructions
- Marinate the shrimp: In a bowl, combine shrimp with baking soda, sesame oil, white pepper, and salt. Mix well with hands and set aside to marinate briefly.
- Prepare vegetables and aromatics: Chop green onions, separating whites from tops. Mince garlic. Have frozen vegetables ready.
- Cook the shrimp: Heat oil in a wok or large skillet until shimmering. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook until they turn pink and curl into a C-shape, about 1-2 minutes per side. Flip and sauté briefly. Remove shrimp and set aside.
- Scramble the eggs: Add a bit more oil to the wok. Crack in two eggs and scramble quickly until just cooked. Push eggs to the side.
- Cook vegetables and aromatics: In the empty space, add green onion whites and garlic. Sauté briefly until fragrant.
- Add rice and sauces: Add day-old rice to the wok, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry aggressively to combine. Add soy sauce and oyster sauce, stirring to coat evenly.
- Combine shrimp and vegetables: Add frozen vegetables and cooked shrimp back into the wok. Stir-fry until everything is heated through and well mixed.
- Finish with sesame oil and garnish: Turn off heat and drizzle sesame oil over the fried rice. Give a final stir. Plate the fried rice and garnish with reserved green onion tops.
