CHINESE SHRIMP FRIED RICE



2 cups small to medium shrimp peeled and boiled*
1 1/2 cups coursely chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green onion, tops included
2 cups cooked rice
2 eggs slightly beaten
2 to 3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup green pepper chopped

Place 1 tablespoon oil in skillet and saute onion and peppers until done, not brown

Place shrimp in mixture and allow to heat. Add eggs, seasoned with soy sauce and stir until eggs are set. Add geen onions and let heat until hot. * I always boil my shrimp in shrimp or crab boil prior to cooking the fried rice.

For a variety, you may add 2 cups meat or 1/2 pound of crispy fried bacon cut in 1/2 inch strips. Serves 6

Mama, where is the frying the rice part? Do you just serve this over the cooked rice?

Depends on how you like your rice - if you use leftover rice that has been refrigerated overnight, the steam from the heat of the pan and the liquid in the pan will re-steam and hydrate the rice making it very good; fresh cooked rice seems to be "gunkier" because of all the moisture in the pan.

Mama, for a fried rice, I quick fry left over cold rice to heat it up with a bit of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic and then stir in the other ingredients that have already been cooked. I just asked about the rice because your recipe doesn't say anything about the rice. Just calls for 2 cups of cooked rice.

I make mine the way you do - but a friend of mine (it's her recipe) makes it the gunky way. I just left her recipe the way she wrote it.

i have tried to fry freshly cooked rice... the thing i do is open the lid of the rice cooker and placing it in front of a fan until it cools then mixing it so that the inside part would be cool also... maybe doing it for 30 minutes
