Helpful Tips
When making any fried rice dish is it best to use chilled rice as the grains dry out a little and each has a distinctive texture. If possible cook the rice a day before and leave it in the refrigerator and allow it to cool completely in the fridge for at least 3 hours before beginning the recipe.
If you are allergic to seafood feel free to use just beef as the recipe still tastes amazing.
Dark soy sauce can be added to this recipe to create a deeper richer dish, I preferred the shrimp and beef fried rice slightly lighter and followed the directions below.
Use any vegetables which you have available or prefer within this recipe.
Divide all the ingredients by half as the rice will be fried in two parts to keep the pan hot and prevent overfilling.
I recommend using striploin beef as it is the most tender cut to make fried rice or even stir-fry.
Baking soda is added to the meat which tenderizes the beef before cooking.
As soon as the shrimp turns pink, flip it over and cook the other side the same way, then remove from the pan (5 mins tops). This guarantees that your shrimp is not overcooked and chewy as it continues to cook in the fried rice.
