Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the jasmine rice, diced carrots, green peas, corn kernels, cucumber, eggs, ham sausage, shrimp, and scallions.
Step 2
Rinse the rice thoroughly and cook according to package directions. Spread the cooked rice out to cool completely.
Step 3
Dice the cucumber, slice the ham sausage, beat the eggs, and finely chop the scallions.
Step 4
Marinate the shrimp with half an egg white and 1 teaspoon of starch for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Blanch the corn kernels, green peas, and diced carrots briefly in boiling water, then drain well.
Step 6
Heat a little oil in a wok and stir-fry the shrimp until just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Step 7
In the same wok, stir-fry the corn, peas, carrots, cucumber, and ham sausage with a pinch of salt until fragrant. Remove and reserve.
Step 8
Add a little more oil to the wok. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them into small pieces.
Step 9
Add the cooled rice and stir-fry until the grains separate and heat evenly.
Step 10
Return the cooked vegetables and ham to the wok and toss everything together.
Step 11
Add the cooked shrimp back to the wok, drizzle with a few drops of sesame oil, stir-fry briefly, and serve immediately.
Cooking Tips
- For the best texture, use cooled or day-old rice. Blanch harder vegetables such as peas, carrots, and corn before stir-frying to ensure even cooking. Cook the shrimp just until opaque to keep them tender. Scramble the eggs into small curds before adding the rice for a classic fried rice texture.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve it with steamed rice when you want a simple Chinese home-cooked meal.
- Add a light soup or cold vegetable side if the stir-fry is salty, spicy, or saucy.
- Keep rice or noodles ready before cooking because stir-fries are best served immediately.
