Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Break up the cold rice with your hands so no clumps remain.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok over high heat and scramble the beaten eggs until just set, then remove.
  3. Add remaining oil and stir-fry the shrimp 1 minute, then add char siu and peas and carrots for 1 minute.
  4. Add the rice and toss vigorously over high heat for 3 minutes until each grain is separate and hot.
  5. Return the eggs, drizzle in soy sauce along the wok edge, and season with white pepper.
