Instructions

 

• In a hot wok, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and pour in the eggs. Cook, stirring, until the eggs are lightly set. Remove before they become crispy, and set aside.
• Add remaining oil and stir-fry the shrimp, bacon and spring onions for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. If your bacon is thick, you may want to start this first to cook a little longer than the shrimp and onion.
• Add the rice and the salt, and cook until the rice is warmed through.
• Add the Hoisin and light soy sauce.
• Fold in the eggs, and serve.

Notes

NOTE:

Rice should be cooked ahead of time and cooled in the fridge for best results to avoid a mushy mess.

Chicken, sliced pork or chopped peppers, can be substituted for the shrimp.

Add your favorite vegetables.
