ingredients
- 6 tablespoons peanut oil
- 2 shallots, thinly sliced
- 1 small piece ginger, peeled and grated (1 to 2 inches)
- 1⁄2 small head napa cabbage, core removed and finely sliced
- salt
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄2 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 cups cooked long-grain rice
- 1⁄2 cup frozen peas, thawed in warm water
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1⁄4 bunch scallion, sliced, for garnish
- 1⁄2 cup chopped peanuts, for garnish (optional)
directions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil in a wok or a large nonstick skillet over medium-high flame.
- Give the oil a minute to heat up, then add the shallots, the ginger, and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the cabbage and stir-fry until the cabbage is wilted and soft, about 8 minutes; season with a nice pinch of salt. Remove the vegetables to a side platter and wipe out the wok with dry paper towel.
- Put the pan back on the heat and coat with 2 tablespoons of oil.
- Add the garlic and saute gently until fragrant.
- Add shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until pink. Set aside on platter with vegetables.
- Add remaining oil to the wok and when hot, crack the eggs into the center. Scramble the egg lightly, then let it set without stirring so it stays in big pieces.
- Fold in the rice and toss with the egg until well combined, breaking up the rice clumps with the back of a spatula.
- Return the sauteed vegetables and shrimp to the pan along with the peas and season with salt and soy sauce. Toss everything together to heat through.
- Spoon the fried rice out onto a serving platter, and garnish with scallions and peanuts.

This is by far one of the best fried rice recipes that I have eaten! But hey how can you go wrong making a recipe by Tyler Florence. The fresh grated ginger and peanut oil really put this over the top. If you like Asian food this is a must try recipe *Made for the Jan. 2010 Food Network Challenge: Hail to the Chef's in the Photo Forum event*

<p>Hello all, being from California, I can honestly say I am a foodie. You can walk by construction workers here and hear them saying things like, So I used some fresh garlic and olive oil, then threw the rest into the pan to sautee. LOL I love all kinds of food, and trying to eat healthier as I get older, but still indulge in the occasional deep-fried food or sweet. <br />I LOVE this site! I have 3 or 4 other food sites such as Epicurious and Food Network, but I always come back here! The ease and all of the features just can't be beat. <br />Thanks Zaar and I look forward to participating more.</p>
