Restaurant-Style Chinese Fried Rice

A fried rice recipe tailor-made to be as close to restaurant-style as I could get it.
Servings 4 Bowls
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Equipment

  • 1 Wok
  • 1 Rubber Spatula

Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp Butter Divided.
  • Cups Jasmine Rice Cooked a day in advance for best results.
  • 2 Cloves Garlic Minced.
  • ½ Lb Beef Chopped small.
  • Lb Small Shrimp
  • 1 Cup Carrot Chopped small.
  • ½ Cup Onion Diced.
  • 2 Eggs Whisked and beaten.
  • 4 Tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tsp Teriyaki Sauce
  • 1 Tsp Sesame Oil
  • ½ Tsp MSG Optional.

Instructions

  • Melt 1 Tbsp of butter in your wok or skillet and add the egg. Stir just like you're making scrambled eggs, which you basically are.
  • Move the eggs to a bowl, add in another tablespoon of butter. Once melted, toss in the carrots, onions, and garlic. Saute until the carrots are starting to get soft, about 6-7 minutes depending on how small you've chopped them.
  • Remove the veggies and melt the remaining butter. Toss in the beef and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until done. Remove and set aside with the veggies and eggs.
  • Add in the shrimp and cook until done. I used raw shrimp, so it took about 4 minutes. Pre-cooked shrimp can be heated up a shorter period.
  • In a bowl, mix together the soy, teriyaki, sesame oil, and optional MSG.
  • Return the eggs, beef, shrimp, and veggies to the wok.
  • Add the rice, carefully breaking it up, and add the sauce.
  • Stir everything together until it's hot and incorporated. Enjoy!
