A quick and flavorful Black Garlic Shrimp Fried Rice featuring succulent shrimp, aromatic black garlic, vibrant vegetables, and fragrant jasmine rice, all stir-fried to perfection for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
  • 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 4 tablespoons black garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 3 stalks green onions (sliced)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Optional: chili flakes (for heat)

Instructions

  1. Cook the shrimp: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Sauté black garlic: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the minced black garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant to infuse the oil with its distinctive flavor.
  3. Cook vegetables: Add the frozen peas and carrots mix to the skillet. Stir-fry them for approximately 2 minutes until they are heated through and slightly tender.
  4. Scramble eggs: Push the cooked vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble them for about one minute until fully cooked.
  5. Combine rice and seasonings: Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce and mix thoroughly to ensure the rice is evenly coated with the sauce and flavors.
  6. Return shrimp and season: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and combine with the rice and vegetables. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes if desired. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything through and blend the flavors.
  7. Add green onions and serve: Stir in the sliced green onions just before serving to add freshness and a mild onion flavor. Enjoy your delicious Black Garlic Shrimp Fried Rice!

Notes

  • Using day-old jasmine rice prevents the dish from becoming mushy and helps achieve the perfect fried rice texture.
  • Adjust the amount of soy sauce and chili flakes to suit your taste preferences.
  • Ensure shrimp is cooked just until pink to avoid toughness.
  • You can substitute frozen peas and carrots with fresh vegetables if preferred, but cooking times may vary slightly.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free soy sauce.
