Preparation

Step 1

In a pan or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil over high heat. Add the shrimp, and stir fry until pink and opaque throughout. Remove the shrimp to a plate and set aside.

Place the pan or wok back on the heat. Add the eggs in one layer and cook until set; remove to a cutting board and coarsely chop.

Wipe out the pan or wok, place it back over the heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons canola oil. Add the ginger, garlic and scallions, and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the rice, and stir fry until it begins to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the vegetables and the soy sauce; stir to combine, and continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and the chopped egg back to the wok and stir fry for another 1 minute. Serve immediately.
