3 tablespoons canola or peanut oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce
½ tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

Instructions
•Prepare the rice and chill it. If using leftover rice, separate any

the vein and discard. Cut the shrimp into small pieces and
refrigerate.
•Break the eggs into a bowl and lightly scramble with a fork.

shrimp, rice, sauce, roast pork or ham, green onions.

small pieces. Remove the eggs to a small bowl.

heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the
canola oil and heat for 30 seconds.
•Add the shrimp and cook for 2
minutes. The shrimp should be
bright pink when cooked. Remove
