Classic Shrimp Fried Rice


It's been a week I cook Chinese food style but too lazy writing and posting it on my blog.
Sorry folks :-)
It was a week ago the idea of changing style of my food anyway. I felt that I needed to add variety of food in my kitchen. It's been 2years I cooked the same food so it's time to change it and I am getting bored too anyway so I was searching other Asian food. At first I thought I wanna try Korean cuisine. I don't wanna browse on internet since I have no idea what the name of the food is.
One day a friend of mine asked me to accompany her to the library. While she's searching her own stuff, suddenly I just remembered what book I should borrow. Cooking book! So I started browsing the catalog that library has in computer but too bad not many Asian cook books there. 

I found one interesting book tho I don't really know well the author. *I do know some Asian Chefs that I watched on food channel. *yea that's my hubby's fav channel FYI besides the documentary LOL* 
It's Easy Chinese Recipes book I got. Family favorites from DIm Sum to Kung Pao. Big nice book with simple lovely photos that I could learn also since I'm into food photography. It said rasa malaysia. So I guess it would be not too far from Indonesian's taste.
I have some of the seasonings but chinese rice vinegar. My hubby said maybe you can't find in walmart or publix but we went to walmart n found one! Yay.

First recipes I tried was stir fried beef. The first opinion that I said was "It's like in Chinese resto" hahaha. I fell in love with the seasoning I guess. So simple and easy.


My second recipe was something with tofu. And my third one was this one. Classic Shrimp Fried Rice! Just need soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, white pepper for the seasoning. I modified the veggies here. I added fresh chili pepper, bell pepper, carrots. The way I cooked is I sauted the veggies on garlic first till they become tender and add seasoning and medium bowl of one night rice. Mixed it well, bring to taste by adding salt. Pour the beaten egg. Mixed it again, meanwhile boiled the shrimps with salt and garlic. Once the rice is ready add scallions and shrimps. Ready to be served.
