CHINESE FRIED RICE WITH SHRIMP AND PEAS



Chinese Fried Rice With Shrimp and Peas image

This is a more subdued version of fried rice than the spicier Thai fried rice. It's a great dish to make if you have cooked rice on hand and a great vehicle for whatever vegetables may be in your refrigerator. Feel free to add other cooked vegetables, meat or seafood.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, one pot, main course, side dish

Time 15m

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large eggs
2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and cut in 3/4-inch pieces
1 tablespoon dry sherry
5 to 6 cups cooked and cooled basmati or long-grain rice
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
1/2 cup cooked fresh or thawed frozen peas
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Beat one of the eggs in a small bowl and salt lightly. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium-high heat in a small nonstick frying pan, and add the beaten egg. Swirl in the pan until the egg forms an even coat, like a thin pancake. When the egg is cooked through, roll up and slide onto a plate. Cut in thin strips (you can use a scissors or a knife). Set aside.
  • Heat a wok or large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water evaporates upon contact. Add the remaining oil and swirl around the pan, then add the shrimp and cook about one minute, stirring and tossing with a spatula or wok scoop until just about cooked through and pink. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the sherry, and stir everything together. When the sizzling stops, pour in the remaining beaten egg. Stir-fry until scrambled, and add the rice. Cook the rice - scooping it up, then pressing it into the pan and scooping it up again - for about two minutes. Stir in white and lighter green parts of the scallions, the peas and the soy sauce. Stir together for about half a minute, and transfer to a warm serving platter. Sprinkle the egg strips, scallion greens and cilantro over the top. Serve hot.

SHRIMP FRIED RICE WITH SNOW PEAS



Shrimp Fried Rice with Snow Peas image

Toss wok-seared shrimp and vegetables with steamed rice for a dish that features classic Thai flavors: garlic, ginger, lemongrass, scallion, and chile. Aromatic jasmine rice, a long-grain white rice grown throughout Thailand, is a good match for the seasonings.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 large eggs, beaten
12 large shrimp (about 12 ounces), peeled and deveined, tails on
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons finely chopped lemongrass (yellow and pale green parts only)
3 tablespoons minced garlic (about 4 large cloves)
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger (from one 2-inch piece)
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped Thai chile
12 shiitake mushroom caps, sliced 1/2 inch thick (1 1/2 cups)
1 cup snow peas, trimmed
4 cups day-old cooked long-grain rice, preferably jasmine (from 1 1/3 cups dry)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
5 scallions, white and pale-green parts only, sliced crosswise (1/3 cup)
Lime wedges, for squeezing
Garnish: scallions, thinly sliced lengthwise

Steps:

  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a wok over medium-high heat; swirl to coat. Scramble eggs, stirring constantly, about 30 seconds; transfer to a plate.
  • Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon oil to wok, and heat until shimmering. Cook shrimp, tossing occasionally, until seared, 1 to 2 minutes; transfer to a plate.
  • Add remaining 3 tablespoons oil, the lemongrass, garlic, ginger, and chile. Cook, tossing, for 1 minute. Add mushrooms, and cook for 2 minutes. Add shrimp, and cook through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add peas, and cook until bright green but still crisp, about 1 minute. Stir in rice, and heat through. Add soy sauce, and stir to coat. Toss in scrambled eggs, breaking up any large clumps, and scallions. Season with salt and pepper. Squeeze limes over fried rice. Garnish with scallions.

SHRIMP FRIED RICE

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons peanut oil
1/2 pound medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
2 eggs, beaten with 1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
3 cups cold cooked white rice, broken into separate grains
1/2 cup frozen organic peas, thawed
1/4 pound barbecued pork, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Salt

Steps:

  • Heat a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil and swirl to coat the wok. Add the shrimp and stir-fry just until pink, about 2 minutes. Remove shrimp and reserve. Add eggs to wok and scramble until set, but still slightly runny. Remove from pan, breaking into bite-sized pieces, and wipe wok clean.
  • Return wok to heat, add remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil, and swirl to coat the wok. Reduce the heat to medium-high, add the onions, garlic, and ginger and stir-fry until onion is half-cooked, 1 minute. Add the red pepper and stir-fry until just tender but still crisp, about 2 minutes. Add the cold rice, quickly spreading it all over the wok and tossing it to heat through, then fry for about 5 to 7 minutes. (Add a little more oil if the rice is sticking.) When the rice is hot, add the peas and toss to heat through, about 1 minute. Add the pork, reserved shrimp, eggs, and salt, and stir fry to heat thoroughly, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately on a large platter.

EGG-WHITE SHRIMP FRIED RICE



Egg-White Shrimp Fried Rice image

This take on fried rice uses cooking spray and egg whites to minimize calories and fat. With shrimp, carrots, snow peas and red onion, it's still bursting with flavor.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
1/2 cinnamon stick
1 pound large peeled and deveined shrimp, halved lengthwise
One 1 1/2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced into matchstick pieces (about 1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons dry sake
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Cooking spray
2 large eggs
2 large egg whites
1 cup snow peas, halved
2 carrots, thinly sliced on an angle
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 small red onion, halved and sliced root to stem
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Prepare the rice according to package directions, adding the cinnamon stick with the water. Fluff the rice, discard the cinnamon stick and set aside to cool.
  • Toss the shrimp with half of the ginger, 1 tablespoon of the sake, the vinegar and pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Let marinate 10 to 15 minutes. Mist a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the shrimp with the marinade and cook, stirring, until just opaque, 2 minutes. Transfer to a large plate and set aside.
  • Mist the same skillet and return to medium-high heat. Lightly beat the eggs and egg whites and add to the skillet. Cook until scrambled, breaking up with a spatula and transfer to the same plate as the shrimp.
  • Return the skillet to medium-high heat, mist with nonstick spray and add the snow peas, carrots, garlic, onions and remaining ginger. Cook, stirring, until softened and crisp-tender, 5 minutes. Transfer to the same plate as the shrimp and eggs.
  • Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Add the cooled rice, toss with the oil and pack in the skillet in a firm layer. Cook, without stirring, until the bottom of the rice is browned and crusty. Stir the rice and pack it in another layer. Repeat the process until the rice is well toasted and browned, and stopping if the rice seems to be getting dry. Add back the shrimp, eggs and vegetables along with the remaining 1 tablespoon sake and soy sauce and toss well to combine. Remove from the heat and top with the sliced scallions.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 30m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 pound snow peas or sugar snap peas, strings and stems removed

1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
3 scallions, trimmed and cut into 1-inch lengths, dark green parts separated

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon of the corn starch, 1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the rice wine or sherry, 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of the sugar. Add the shrimp, and stir together to coat.
  • Place the remaining corn starch, soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, sesame oil and sugar in another bowl. Add the stock, and stir together well. Set aside.

Stir-fry for two to three minutes, until the pepper begins to soften. Stir to the side of the pan. Add the remaining oil and the shrimp. Cook, stirring, for two minutes, stir in the snow peas or snap peas, and continue to stir-fry for another two or three minutes until the shrimp is pink and cooked through. Give the sauce a stir, and add it to the pan along with the dark green ends of the scallions. Stir everything together with the sauce until the shrimp and vegetables are lightly glazed. Serve hot, with rice.

BROWN-RICE BOWL WITH SHRIMP, SNOW PEAS, AND AVOCADO



Brown-Rice Bowl with Shrimp, Snow Peas, and Avocado image

Avocado is right at home in this Asian-style supper of shrimp, snow peas, and brown rice. Serve the citrusy sauce on the side, or drizzle over each bowl.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 cup long-grain brown rice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 to 2 lemons)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp, thawed if frozen
1/2 pound snow peas, trimmed and halved on the diagonal
1 piece (1 inch long) fresh ginger, peeled and cut into matchsticks
1 Hass avocado, pitted and cut into chunks

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, bring 2 cups salted water to a boil. Add rice; cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl or liquid-measuring cup, stir together soy sauce, lemon juice, vinegar, and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Set sauce aside.
  • When rice has finished cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add shrimp, snow peas, and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Cook until shrimp are opaque throughout and snow peas are bright green, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Divide rice among four bowls. Top with shrimp mixture and avocado; serve sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice: Day-old rice is less moist and will help prevent the fried rice from becoming mushy.
  • Cook the rice properly: Make sure the rice is cooked through but not overcooked. Overcooked rice will become too soft and mushy.
  • Use a large wok or skillet: A large wok or skillet will help ensure that the rice doesn't clump together.
  • Heat the wok or skillet over high heat: High heat will help create a nice sear on the rice and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the ingredients in the correct order: The order in which you add the ingredients is important. First, add the aromatics (ginger, garlic, and onion). Then, add the vegetables. Next, add the rice. Finally, add the eggs and shrimp.
  • Stir-fry the rice constantly: Stir-frying the rice constantly will help prevent it from sticking to the pan and will also help to evenly distribute the heat.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet: Overcrowding the wok or skillet will prevent the rice from cooking evenly.
  • Use a light touch when stirring the rice: A light touch will help prevent the rice from breaking.
  • Season the rice to taste: Once the rice is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and soy sauce.

Conclusion:

Shrimp fried rice with snow peas is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your shrimp fried rice turns out perfectly every time.
