  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 dozen medium shrimp, cleaned
  • 3 to 4 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., broccoli, red pepper, green pepper, carrots, green beans, peapods, sugar snap peas, water chestnuts, mushrooms, baby corn, asparagus)
  • 2/3 cup Szechuan sauce (adjust heat level to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or sesame, peanut, or canola oil)
  • 1 to 2 cups cooked rice (fresh or leftover)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil (or sesame, peanut, or canola oil)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup diced vegetables (optional; same variety as stir fry)

Instructions

  1. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of oil.
  2. Add the cleaned shrimp, mixed vegetables, and Szechuan sauce. Stir-fry for 4–6 minutes, or until shrimp are opaque and vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove from heat and divide onto serving plates.
  3. In the same wok or skillet, drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil (leftover sauce remnants are okay and add flavor).
  4. Add the cooked rice, optional diced vegetables, and crack the egg directly into the pan.
  5. Stir-fry for 3–5 minutes, or until the egg is fully cooked and the rice is slightly browned.
  6. Serve immediately alongside the Szechuan shrimp and vegetables. Best enjoyed warm and fresh.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked or leftover rice for best fried rice texture.
  • Customize the vegetable mix based on what’s available.
  • Adjust the heat level of the Szechuan sauce to suit your preference.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
