How To Make It
- Mix all of the ingredients together for the sauce in a large measuring cup or small mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Heat up a large wok (I used a Hexclad Hybrid 14 inch Wok) over medium high heat with 1/2 tbsp. sesame oil. Add the shrimp. Season with the garlic salt, onion powder, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Once fully cooked (about 6 minutes), set the shrimp aside on a plate.
- Add another 1/2 tbsp. of sesame seed oil to the wok. Sauté the garlic, ginger, and onion until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add in your cooked jasmine rice and cook for another 3 minutes, mixing frequently.
- Scoot the rice towards the outside edges of your wok so that you can see the bottom of the wok in the middle. Pour the 4 eggs in. Cook until scrambled and then mix in with the rice.
- Add in the broccoli and remaining 1/2 tbsp. of sesame oil. Cook until your desired level of doneness. I like my broccoli to be a little crunchy so I only cooked mine for another 5 minutes or so! Add your broccoli in earlier if you like your broccoli to be more cooked down.
- Pour your sauce over the stir fry, let simmer for 2-3 minutes, and dig in!
How To Store Leftovers
You can store your leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When you are ready to enjoy them again, just pop them in the microwave for a minute and a half or so! This stir fry reheats SO well! I bet you can even freeze it too if any leftovers stand a chance!
