Cooking Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

• 6 Cups (cups) water
• 3 Cups (cups) uncooked white rice
• 2 Large eggs, whisked
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) sesame oil, divided
• 1 Medium onion, minced
• 2 Stalks celery, minced
• 1 Pound (lb) cooked salad shrimp
• 3 Medium carrots, minced
• 1 Large red bell pepper, minced
• 0.75 Cups (cups) snow peas, sliced
• 1 Large green bell pepper, minced
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) soy sauce
• 1 Pinch soy sauce, to taste

Steps

1. In a medium saucepan, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add the 3 cups of uncooked white rice. Return to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
2. In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the whisked eggs and scramble until just set. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. In a large skillet or wok, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced onion and celery, and sauté until the onion is translucent and the celery is tender, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the cooked shrimp, minced carrots, red bell pepper, snow peas, and green bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are vibrant and slightly tender.
5. Add the cooked rice to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the vegetables and shrimp.
6. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of soy sauce over the rice mixture and add the scrambled eggs. Stir thoroughly to ensure everything is well combined and heated through.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning with an additional pinch of soy sauce if desired. Serve hot, garnished with fresh scallions or sesame seeds if preferred.
