Ingredients
- Shrimp – 250g peeled & deveined
- Cooked Rice – 3 cups preferably day-old for best texture
- Garlic – 5–6 cloves minced
- Butter – 2 tablespoons
- Honey – 1 to 1½ tablespoons adjust based on sweetness preference
- Soy Sauce – 2 to 3 tablespoons low sodium recommended
- Eggs – 2 large
Instructions
- Place a large skillet or wok over high heat and add a small amount of oil. Let the oil heat up properly until it shimmers—this step is important because hot oil helps create a good sear and prevents sticking.
- Add the steak pieces in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Let them cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes so they develop a nice brown crust, then flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes until just cooked through. Remove the steak from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
- In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Add the shrimp and cook for about 1–2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking, as shrimp can become rubbery quickly.
- Drizzle the honey over the shrimp while they are still in the pan and toss them gently so they are evenly coated. Let the honey slightly caramelize for a few seconds, then remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
- Crack the eggs directly into the pan and scramble them gently, stirring continuously until they are just cooked and soft. Remove the eggs from the pan and set them aside with the other cooked ingredients.
- Add a small amount of oil to the pan again, then add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 20–30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent it from burning.
- Add the cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps with your spatula or spoon. Stir-fry on high heat, tossing frequently so the rice heats evenly and slightly crisps up.
- Pour in the soy sauce and mix thoroughly, ensuring all the rice is evenly coated. Keep stirring so the flavor distributes evenly without any overly salty spots.
- Return the cooked steak, shrimp, and scrambled eggs back into the pan. Toss everything together gently but thoroughly so all ingredients are well combined and heated through.
- Taste the fried rice and adjust seasoning if needed—add a little more soy sauce, salt, or pepper depending on your preference.
- Sprinkle chopped green onions over the top for freshness and a bit of crunch.
- Serve immediately while hot, enjoying the perfect combination of juicy steak, sweet shrimp, and flavorful fried rice at its best texture.
