  • 1/2 teaspoon Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Green Onions (chopped)

Get Started

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Crack the eggs directly into the pan and scramble them until cooked through. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.

Sauté Aromatics

Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Add the cooked shrimp to the pan and cook for another minute, until heated through. Add the cooked rice to the pan, breaking it up with a spatula.

Season and Stir-Fry

Pour in the soy sauce and fish sauce. Sprinkle in the sugar. Stir-fry everything together for 3-4 minutes, ensuring the rice is heated through and evenly coated with the sauce.

Combine and Serve

Return the cooked eggs to the pan and mix everything together. Stir in the chopped green onions. Serve immediately with a lime wedge on the side.
