Ingredients
Shrimp:
- Shrimp - Easy guess right? You will 2 pounds of shrimp, peeled & deveined. You can use frozen, but just make sure you defrost it first.
- Garlic Salt - 1 teaspoon, or to taste.
- Onion Powder - 1/2 teaspoon, or to taste.
- Red Pepper Flakes - To taste, optional. I like A LOT!!!
Sauce:
- Coconut Aminos - 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos. I use coconut aminos to keep it soy free.
- Rice Vinegar - 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar.
- Sesame Seeds - To taste.
- Sesame Oil - 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
For the Rest:
- Sesame Oil - 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
- Garlic - 2 teaspoons of minced garlic.
- Ginger - 1 teaspoon of minced ginger.
- Yellow Onion - 1/2 yellow onion, diced.
- Eggs - 4 large eggs.
- Jasmine Rice - 2 cups cooked rice (1 cup dry I like brown or Jasmine).
- Broccoli - 12 ounces of broccoli florets, chopped up small.
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 tablespoon of sesame seed oil to the wok. Sauté the rice, broccoli onion, garlic, & ginger, about 5 minutes. You want the rice to become little crispy and the onions, garlic, and ginger to be fragrant.
- Scoot the rice towards the outer edges of your wok so that you have a divot in the middle of your wok. Pour the 4 eggs into the middle. Cook until scrambled and then mix in with the rest of the stir fry.
- Add the shrimp back to your wok. Mix to fully incorporate into your stir fry.
- Turn the heat down to low. Pour your sauce over the stir fry. Allow to heat through 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!
