  • 3 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 sweet onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen peas and carrots
  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 lemon, juiced, divided
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by bringing 3 cups of water and uncooked white rice to a rolling boil in a medium-sized saucepan.
2
Then, decrease the heat to a low simmer and cover the saucepan with a lid.
3
Allow the rice to cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it is tender and all of the water has been absorbed.
4
Set the saucepan aside to cool down, allowing it to come to room temperature.
5
Next, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
6
Add sliced onions to the skillet and cook until they become soft and translucent, taking around 5 minutes.
7
Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld together.
8
Mix in cooked white rice and a frozen mixture of peas and carrots; cook until the rice starts to brown, approximately 5 minutes.
9
Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet and stir until it is fully incorporated.
10
Pour in beaten eggs and cook until they are firm to the touch, taking around 5 minutes.
11
Add oyster sauce, soy sauce, and half a lemon's worth of juice to the skillet; stir until everything is well combined.
12
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
13
In a separate pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
14
Add peeled and deveined shrimp to the pan and cook until they turn bright pink on the outside and are opaque in the center, taking 2 to 3 minutes.
15
Mix in remaining 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and lemon juice.
16
Combine the cooked shrimp with the fried rice mixture.
17
Make the yum yum sauce by combining mayonnaise, water, paprika, ginger paste, white sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
18
Stir the sauce well before serving it alongside the fried rice.
