Servings: persons

3 tablespoons peanut oil
8 shrimp, peeled, deveined and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 ounces ham, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (1/4 cup)
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 tablespoon soy sauce, plus more for seasoning
2 large eggs, beaten
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1 pinch salt
fresh ground black pepper
3 cups cold leftover cooked rice
1 tablespoon rice wine or 1 tablespoon dry sherry

1
Heat 2 Tblsp of the oil in a wok or frying pan set over medium heat. Add the shrimp, ham, and peas and cook 1 minute. Add the soy sauce and transfer to a plate to keep warm.
2
Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in the pan. Add the eggs, green onions, salt & pepper.
3
Scramble the eggs in the pan. Once this mixture comes together in clumps, add the rice, shrimp mixture, and rice wine. Adjust the seasoning with soy sauce or salt & pepper. Serve hot.
4
Feel free to saute cabbage, broccoli, bok choy, or diced carrots along with the shrimp, ham and peas.
5
Use cold leftover rice only. This recipe won't work well with freshly cooked rice. It will be mushy and stick to the pan, a real mess.
