Sheet Pan Fried Rice
Description
Sheet Pan Fried Rice uses leftover cooked rice mixed with vegetables such as shiitake mushrooms, diced onion, and carrots, combined with a flavorful sauce made from oyster sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Raw shrimp are marinated separately with oyster sauce and pepper before being added later in the baking process.
The mixed rice is spread on a baking sheet and baked at high heat to create browning and to develop slightly crispy edges on the rice. After initial baking, peas and shrimp are added and baked until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. The dish is completed by topping with fried eggs and garnishing with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for a finishing touch.
This method simplifies fried rice preparation by using the oven to cook rather than the traditional wok stir-frying. It allows for even cooking and is suitable for preparing larger portions easily. The mix of textures includes tender shrimp, soft rice with crisped edges, and the richness of fried egg served alongside.
