Ingredients

6 tablespoons peanut oil
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 (2-inch) piece ginger, peeled and grated
1/2 small head napa cabbage, core removed and finely sliced
Salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups cooked long-grain white rice
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed in warm water
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 bunch scallions, sliced, for garnish
1/2 cup chopped peanuts, for garnish

Directions

Heat 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil in a wok or a large nonstick skillet over medium-high flame. Give the oil a minute to heat up, then add the shallots, the ginger, and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the cabbage and stir-fry until the cabbage is wilted and soft, about 8 minutes; season with a nice pinch of salt. Remove the vegetables to a side platter and wipe out the wok with dry paper towel.

Put the pan back on the heat and coat with 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the garlic and to the wok and saute gently until fragrant. Add shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until pink. Set aside on platter with vegetables. Add remaining oil to the wok and when hot, crack the eggs into the center. Scramble the egg lightly, then let it set without stirring so it stays in big pieces. Fold in the rice and toss with the egg until well combined, breaking up the rice clumps with the back of a spatula. Return the sauteed vegetables and shrimp to the pan along with the peas and season with salt and soy sauce. Toss everything together to heat through. Spoon the fried rice out onto a serving platter, and garnish with scallions and peanuts.

Really Healthy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this tonight after I saw Tyler make this dish on TV over the weekend. I used brown rice, added left over fresh... vegetables - asparagas, zucchini, mushrooms, carrots - while cooking the napa cabbage. I didn't measure the shrimp just used what looked good from a bag of frozen medium shrimp. My husband and I both really enjoyed it and I will definitely make this again. I think next time we will add more garlic. Plus we have leftovers for lunch tomorrow!! Thanks, Kathy G., Evanston ILRead more

good recipe
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

You can really make fried rice a thousand ways. Whatever you want to put in it, however you want it to taste like. It's never... going to be an excellent dish. It's just a side dish to the main course, nothing to it. But this is a good recipe to follow if you're making fried rice for the first time. Consider this recipe the base to all fried rices that you will make in the future. Have fun!Read more

Good -- but not spectacular
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe, except that Trader Joe's did not have cabbage so I used bok choy. The recipe is good, but it didn't... knock my socks off. I made my own white rice and let it cool since it's so cheap and easy to make. I think it needs more shrimp or cut the shrimp into pieces. If I made it again I would add some chopped cooked carrots or some red bell pepper for color. It's just green and white and a little boring looking. Read more

easy and fantastic!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am no expert chef..and even for this cooking "dummy" this recipe was easy and came out absolutely delicious!!! The ginger... taste was subtle and wonderful. I used a pound of shrimp. Just like the restaurant! My boyfriend and I absolutely stuffed ourselves, it was excellent. Tyler's recipes intimidated me a little at first....but no longer! I cant wait to make this again. Highly recommended. Read more
