ingredients
- 3 tablespoons peanut oil
- 8 shrimp, peeled, deveined and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 pinch salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- 3 cups cold leftover cooked rice

directions
- Heat 2 Tblsp of the oil in a wok or frying pan set over medium heat. Add the shrimp, ham, and peas and cook 1 minute. Add the soy sauce and transfer to a plate to keep warm.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in the pan. Add the eggs, green onions, salt & pepper.
- Scramble the eggs in the pan. Once this mixture comes together in clumps, add the rice, shrimp mixture, and rice wine. Adjust the seasoning with soy sauce or salt & pepper. Serve hot.
- Feel free to saute cabbage, broccoli, bok choy, or diced carrots along with the shrimp, ham and peas.
- Use cold leftover rice only. This recipe won't work well with freshly cooked rice. It will be mushy and stick to the pan, a real mess.

Fantastic!! My family liked this a lot! My only change was I left out the meat and added carrots. As we were having this with another meat with sauce. I also used fresh rice which I cooled and washed well with cold water. Drained and washed again to remove the sticky starch. Drain well again before putting in skillet. Made my version of Chinese take out a hit.Thanks for sharing. I will be making this often.
