LET’S MAKE SOMETHING GOOD

Preparation

Method

Rinse the rice. Combine it with coconut milk, water, and salt, then bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 15–18 minutes. Cool the covered rice and refrigerate overnight.
Heat a little oil in a wok. Stir-fry the cold rice for 2–3 minutes, adding soy sauce and a splash of water if needed; transfer it out.
Add more oil and scramble the eggs quickly, then combine them with the rice.
Stir-fry the shrimp briefly. Add onion, thyme, garlic, peas, carrots, and soy sauce, and cook for 2 minutes.
Return the rice and eggs to the wok and toss until everything is hot.
