Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 200g sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 200g peeled and deveined medium shrimp
  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Rice & Vegetables

  • 3 cups cooked day-old jasmine or long-grain rice
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • 1/2 cup peas
  • 3 green onions, chopped

Aromatics & Oils

  • 3 cloves garlic, freshly minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Seasoning

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Slice the steak thinly against the grain, peel and devein the shrimp if needed, and chop all vegetables so everything is ready before cooking.
  2. Cook the steak and shrimp: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Quickly sear the steak strips until browned but still tender, then remove and set aside. Repeat with the shrimp until they turn pink and opaque, then set aside with the steak.
  3. Scramble the eggs: In the same pan, pour in beaten eggs and scramble until just set, breaking them into small pieces. Remove and keep warm.
  4. Sauté vegetables and aromatics: Add a little more vegetable oil if necessary, then sauté the minced garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add diced carrots, peas, and green onions, cooking until tender-crisp.
  5. Combine rice and proteins: Add the day-old cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Stir vigorously to mix everything evenly, then return the shrimp, steak, and scrambled eggs to the pan.
  6. Season and finish: Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over the mixture, tossing well to coat all ingredients. Cook for a few more minutes while stirring until the rice is heated through and slightly toasted.

Notes

  • Use day-old rice to prevent mushiness and achieve fluffy fried rice.
  • Have all ingredients prepped before cooking, as stir-frying works best with high heat and speed.
  • Cook steak and shrimp in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even searing.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning at the end, adding more soy sauce or sesame oil if desired.
  • For gluten-free option, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
  • To add a spicy kick, include chopped chili or sriracha.
  • Vegetarian variation: replace steak and shrimp with tofu or extra veggies like bell peppers and mushrooms.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro, chopped scallions, or toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor and crunch.
