Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

Cook the rice in 500 ml of water (12 minutes over low heat with the lid on, until all the water is absorbed). Then let the rice cool completely, preferably overnight. Beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Peel the onion and cut into 8 pieces. Slice the spring onions diagonally. Cut the ham into matchstick-sized strips. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok. Pour in the eggs, letting them run to the edges. Once the mixture is firm, remove the rice and cut into thin strips, and set aside. Heat the remaining vegetable oil and sesame oil in the wok. Add the onion pieces and let them become translucent, then add the ham and stir-fry for about 1 minute. Add the rice and peas and stir-fry for about 3 minutes until everything is thoroughly heated through. Add the scrambled eggs, spring onions, and shrimp, heat through, and season with soy sauce to taste.
