Instructions

  • Step 1

    Cook rice according to package direction. After the rice is cooked, remove and let it cool overnight.

    Boil 3 ½ of water in a pot. Add shrimp, broccoli and Chinese broccoli, and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and set aside for later use.

  • Step 3

    Break eggs into a large mixing bowl and beat until well mixed. Divide the egg mixture into two equal portions in two smaller bowls. Put aside for later use.

  • Step 4

    Heat wok with 2 tsp. of cooking oil. Add one of the two bowls of egg mix from step 3 plus the rice from step 1. Next, add the boiled shrimp and Chinese broccoli from step 2, and stir-fry for 5 minutes on low heat.

  • Step 5

  • Step 6

    Using the same wok, heat 2 tsp. oil, and add the second bowl of egg from step 3. Cook for 2 minutes to form an omelette. Slowly add fried rice from step 5 on top. Once all the rice is added, flip the egg omelette over so that the rice is covered by the egg.
