Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons softened butter
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
  • 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • ¼ cup onion (chopped fine)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh garlic (chopped fine)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger (chopped fine)
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup peas and carrots
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup oyster sauce
  • 1 cup mayo
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ cup water (as needed to thin the sauce)
  • Sliced scallions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Make the Soy Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, soy sauce, and minced garlic until well combined. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with sesame oil, soy sauce, cornstarch, and garlic powder. Stir well to coat the shrimp and set aside to marinate.
  3. Sear the Shrimp: Heat sesame oil in a large wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp, searing them until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the wok and set aside.
  4. Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onions, fresh garlic, and chopped ginger to the same wok. Sauté until onions become translucent.
  5. Whisk the Eggs: Push the sautéed mixture to one side of the wok. Crack the eggs into the empty space, scrambling until fully cooked. Mix everything together.
  6. Mix in Veggies: Add in the peas and carrots, stirring until they are warmed through.
  7. Combine the Rice: Add the cooked rice to the wok, along with the remaining soy sauce and oyster sauce. Mix thoroughly.
  8. Fold in the Shrimp: Chop some shrimp and add all of them back to the wok. Stir gently until heated.
  9. Make the Yum Yum Sauce: In a bowl, combine mayo, melted butter, ketchup, rice wine vinegar, paprika, sugar, ground ginger, and water to your preferred consistency.

Notes

For best results, use day-old cold rice to prevent mushiness. Feel free to customize with your favorite veggies or proteins.
