Cooking
- Gather all the ingredients.
- If your 4 oz shrimp are not shelled and deveined, please see my post How to Devein Shrimp.
- Then, cut the deveined shrimp into ½-inch (1.3-cm) pieces.
- Cut 1 leaf iceberg lettuce and 1 green onion/scallion into small pieces.
- Gently whisk 1 large egg (50 g each w/o shell) in a small bowl.
- Heat a wok until the surface is almost smoking.
- Then, add 2 Tbsp neutral oil and spread it around until it coats the surface evenly.
- Add the egg and cook over high heat.
- The egg will not stick to the pan as long as you have added enough oil.
- Quickly mix it with a spatula.
- When it’s 80% cooked, transfer it to a plate.
- In the same wok, add the shrimp pieces and then 1 tsp sake and ¼ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt.
- Cook until the shrimp pieces change color on the outside.
- The inside doesn’t have to be cooked through at this time.
- Remove the shrimp onto a plate.
- Add 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil and cook scallion, stir until nicely coated with oil.
- Add 2 cups (480ml) cooked Japanese short-grain rice and break up the chunks of cold rice.
- Toss in the wok and mix well together.
- When the rice is coated with oil, put the egg and shrimp back into the wok and toss it all together.
- Add the lettuce, ⅛ tsp white pepper powder, freshly ground black pepper, and 1 tsp soy sauce.
- Toss the fried rice in the wok frequently and mix it all together.
- Serve immediately.
