Ingredients

Elaboration

  • 1 - Prepare the rice

    Start by boiling your Peacock Thai Jasmine Fragrant Rice. Cook until soft and fluffy. Set it aside to cool. Fried rice turns out better when the rice is not hot or sticky.

  • 2 - Season the shrimp

    Put your shrimp in a clean bowl. Add dark soy sauce. Add minced garlic. Add cayenne pepper. Stir to coat evenly. Add a pinch of salt. Mix again so the seasoning spreads well.

  • 3 - Sauté the shrimp

    Heat oil in your frying pan. Pour in the seasoned shrimp. Sauté until the shrimp cooks through. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set it aside.

  • 4 - Sauté onions, garlic, and carrots

    Using the same pan, add chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for a short while. Add your diced carrots. Stir until the vegetables soften slightly.

  • 5 - Add bell peppers and seasoning

    Add your chopped bell peppers. Add your seasoning of choice. Stir well so the vegetables absorb the flavours.

  • 6 - Add the rice

    Add your cooked Peacock Thai Jasmine Fragrant Rice. Break up any lumps as you stir. Make sure the rice mixes well with the vegetables.

  • 7 - Add soy sauce and oyster sauce

    Add one tablespoon of dark soy sauce. Add one tablespoon of oyster sauce. Stir well until the colour spreads through the rice.

  • 8 - Add shrimp and scrambled eggs

    Add your cooked shrimp back into the pan. Add your scrambled eggs. Stir everything together gently until well combined.

  • 9 - Finish and serve

    Your shrimp fried rice is ready. The colour is bright. The aroma is rich. The taste is amazing. Serve hot and enjoy with your family. Remember to always use Peacock Rice for the best results.
