Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the eggs and scramble until just set, then remove eggs to a plate to avoid overcooking.

  2. 2

    Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Increase heat to high and quickly sear the shrimp until pink and just cooked through, about 1–2 minutes. Remove shrimp and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add the remaining oil. Stir-fry pork over high heat until browned and cooked through, about 2–3 minutes. Add bell pepper, carrot, and peas, and stir-fry until vegetables are slightly tender yet crisp, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Push the ingredients to the sides of the pan. Add the cold cooked rice into the center. Toss all together, pressing the rice gently to break up any clumps, and fry for 2–3 minutes until the rice is hot and slightly toasted.

  5. 5

    Return cooked eggs and shrimp to the pan. Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and salt, mixing well until all ingredients are evenly coated and heated through. Adjust seasoning if desired, then stir in green onions and serve immediately.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe that creates its signature flavor?
The combination of soy sauce and oyster sauce adds the foundational umami and savory notes, but shrimp and pork are the defining proteins that create the signature celebratory taste and richness in this Prosperity Fried Rice.
Q. How do I prevent overcooking the shrimp and eggs for best texture?
Cook the eggs and shrimp separately and briefly over medium-high heat, removing them from the pan as soon as they're just set. This ensures each keeps a tender texture and avoids becoming rubbery when combined with the hot rice later.
Q. What's the recommended heat control for perfect fried rice?
Consistent high heat is essential once you start stir-frying proteins and vegetables. This allows the pork to brown and the veggies to stay crisp, while flash-frying the rice gives it a slightly toasted edge without getting mushy.
Q. How many calories and how much protein are in each serving?
Each serving contains approximately 435 kcal and 21 grams of protein, making this fried rice a satisfying, high-protein main course.
