Traditional Cantonese Fried Rice Recipe

Preparation of rice: Place the rice in boiling salted water to cook. Rinse under cold water, drain, and let it cool.

Preparation of the filling Cut the ham into small squares. Peel and finely slice the onions.

Cooking the vegetables Heat a tablespoon of oil and fry the onions with the peas for 3 minutes. Set the mixture aside.

Preparation of the eggs: Crack the eggs and beat them into an omelet with salt and pepper. Pour a tablespoon of oil into the pan and cook the omelet over low heat. Place it on a flat plate and cut into thin slices.

Preparation of the shrimp Heat the last tablespoon of oil and sauté the shrimp for one minute. Add the rice, onions, peas, ham, and the omelet cut into strips.

Serve. Adjust the seasoning and let it cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent the rice from sticking.
