Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine mushroom-flavored dark soy sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine. Set aside
- Heat a 14-inch wok or large, heavy skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and swirl to coat the wok. Add the shrimp and stir-fry just until pink, about 2 minutes. Remove shrimp and reserve. Add eggs to wok and scramble until set. Remove from pan, breaking into bite-sized pieces, and wipe wok clean.
- Return the wok to heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and swirl to coat the wok. Reduce the heat to medium-high, add the onions, and stir-fry until the onion is half-cooked for about 1 minute. Add peas/ carrots, mix and stir-fry until just tender but still crisp, about 2 minutes.
- Add the cold rice, quickly spread it all over the wok, toss it to heat through, and then fry for about 5 to 7 minutes. (Add a little more oil if the rice is sticking.) Add the reserved shrimp, eggs, and stir-fry to heat thoroughly, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve the Shrimp Fried Rice immediately on a large platter. Enjoy!
