This dish is a 10 minute meal in a bowl that gives you all the full-flavor satisfaction of fried rice without loads of grease and salt. Make sure you use very cold cooked rice (hello leftover Chinese food), or you will wind up with a sticky mess.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 4 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon peeled, grated fresh ginger
- 1 pound peeled, cleaned small shrimp
- 5 cups thinly sliced green cabbage, cut crosswise into 3-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 4 cups very cold cooked brown rice
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Directions
Heat the oil in a very large nonstick skillet or wok over a high heat. Add the scallions, ginger and shrimp and cook stirring frequently until the shrimp turn pink, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add the cabbage and continue cooking until it begins to soften, but is still somewhat crisp, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the shrimp-cabbage mixture to a bowl.
Heat the sesame oil in the same skillet or wok over a medium-high heat. Add the rice and cook stirring frequently, until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add the shrimp-cabbage mixture back to the skillet, stir in the soy sauce and sesame seeds and serve.

I would give this 3 1/2 stars. It has potential but, need a little doctoring in our opinion. Just a little. I added frozen organic peas in addition to the cabbage. I also salted as I cooked and put some red pepper flakes in the saute' with the chicken and cabbage. I used chicken instead of shrimp. Lastly, as another person mentioned I used a little extra sesame oil and soy sauce. We also put a Siracha on top for spice and flavor at the end. I put the chives in the the rice at the very end along with some peanuts instead of sesame seeds. Good stuff.

Loved the nutty flavor of this! Noted others said it was bland, so I just added some garlic & black pepper - it came out great. Can't wait to get more cabbage & shrimp!

This was OK. It was simple to make but I felt it lacked flavor. Would maybe use this as a basis but add in more vegetables and more seasoning.
