Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 lb steak (such as flank or sirloin), thinly sliced
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
Vegetables
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
Staples & Sauces
- 3 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably cold)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook Steak: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Season the thinly sliced steak with salt and pepper, then sear for 2–3 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Cook Shrimp: In the same pan, add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the steak.
- Sauté Garlic and Scramble Eggs: Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan. Sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Push the garlic to the side of the pan, pour in the beaten eggs, and scramble until fully cooked.
- Fry Rice: Add the cooked jasmine rice to the pan and break apart any clumps using a spatula. Stir-fry the rice for 2–3 minutes to heat through and ensure even cooking.
- Add Vegetables and Sauces: Mix in the thawed peas and carrots, then add the low-sodium soy sauce and oyster sauce. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Combine Proteins and Finish: Return the cooked shrimp and steak to the pan. Cook together for another 2 minutes, stirring continuously to heat through.
- Final Touches: Drizzle with sesame oil, toss in the sliced green onions, mix well, and serve hot.
Notes
- Use day-old rice for best texture to prevent sogginess.
- Add a dash of chili sauce or red pepper flakes if you prefer a spicy kick.
- Feel free to swap peas and carrots for your favorite vegetables such as bell peppers or broccoli.
