  4. 5 scallions, whites chopped and greens thinly sliced, separated
  5. 8 ounces large shrimp, peeled and deveined, cut into quarters
  6. 2 ounces thinly sliced Chinese sausage
  7. 1 cup thinly sliced Napa cabbage
  8. 1/4 to 1/2 cup edamame beans
  9. One 2-ounce can water chestnuts
  10. 1/4 cup soy sauce
  11. 1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  12. 1/2 teaspoon sambal
  13. 1/2 teaspoon XO sauce
  14. 1 cup mung bean sprouts
  15. 1 cup white rice, cooked and cooled
  16. 1 egg
  17. Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. To a wok over medium-high heat, add a light coating of oil. Add half of the ginger, garlic and scallion whites to flavor the oil. Add the shrimp, sausage, cabbage, edamame and water chestnuts, tossing to heat through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sambal, XO sauce and sprouts. Cook for 1 minute until the shrimp is pink. Move all to a bowl.
  2. Add another light coating of oil to the wok. Add the remaining half of the ginger, garlic and scallion whites to flavor the oil. Add the rice and spread around the wok to toast and get crispy. Add a little more oil to encourage golden-ness, and cook 4 to 5 minutes. Season with a splash of vinegar and soy. Add the sauteed shrimp and vegetables back into the wok. Toss in your scallion greens and place onto a plate.
  3. To the same wok, turn the burner down, add the egg and cook, 1 to 2 minutes. Place the fried egg on top of the plate. Garnish with cilantro leaves.

I’ve seen this on Worst Cooks in America so I tried it.  IT WAS TWO THUMBS UP.  We didn’t have all the ingredients but it still turned out awesome!

Delicious, this may be one of my family’s favorite dishes. It is a great use of day old white rice (hello left overs from Chinese take out) plus it is flexible. I did not have edamame so I used peas, I didn’t have bean sprouts so Ieft them out, I could not find chinese sausage so that was omitted as well…but it did not make a difference the result was delicious. I did add more ginger & garlic but that’s just because we like those flavors, oh and I made an extra egg because my family of boys do not share food well. Thank you Anne, this is a keeper for sure.
