For an extra layer of flavor, consider using sesame oil in addition to vegetable oil. Day-old cooked rice works best for fried rice, as it is drier and less likely to clump. Customize your fried rice by adding other vegetables such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or broccoli. The Yum Yum sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Follow The Directions
01
StepCook the Rice: In a saucepan, bring 3 cups of water and the jasmine rice to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let cool slightly. (Time: 25-30 minutes)
02
StepPrepare the Fried Rice Base: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent (approximately 5 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute). (Time: 6 minutes)
03
StepCombine and Fry: Add the cooked jasmine rice and frozen peas and carrots to the skillet. Fry, stirring frequently, until the rice begins to lightly brown (about 5 minutes). Add 2 tablespoons of butter and stir to combine. (Time: 5 minutes)
04
StepAdd Eggs and Sauce: Push the rice mixture to one side of the skillet. Crack the eggs into the empty space and cook, scrambling, until firm. Incorporate the eggs into the rice mixture. Pour in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, and half of the lemon juice; stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (Time: 3 minutes)
05
StepCook the Shrimp: In a separate pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque (2-3 minutes). Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and lemon juice. (Time: 3 minutes)
06
StepCombine and Serve: Combine the cooked shrimp with the fried rice mixture. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed. (Time: 1 minute)
07
StepPrepare the Yum Yum Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, water, paprika, ginger paste, white sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. (Time: 2 minutes). Serve the fried rice immediately, drizzled generously with the Yum Yum sauce.
