Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 teaspoons water
• 2 large eggs
• salt to taste
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup finely chopped green onion

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk eggs and water together in a small bowl.

Step 2

Melt butter in a large nonstick frying pan or wok over medium heat. Add egg mixture and cook, without stirring, until almost firm, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 minute more. Carefully transfer egg to a plate and slice into thin strips, about 2 1/2-inches long.

Step 3

Heat oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add rice and cook, stirring constantly, until rice is nicely separated and firm, but not browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add shrimp, soy sauce, sesame oil, and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Add green onion and egg strips; cook for 1 minute.

Step 4

Season with salt and additional soy sauce if needed.
