Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare all ingredients: devein and dice the shrimp, chop scallions, and dice the ham, chicken, and roast pork. Ensure you have 4 cups of cold, cooked rice ready.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of lard or cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Beat the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Pour into the hot oil and scramble until firm, breaking them into small pieces. Remove eggs from the pan and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of oil to the hot wok.
  5. Add the chopped scallions, shrimp, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir-fry until the shrimp turns pink and opaque.
  6. Add the cold cooked rice to the wok. Break up any clumps with your spatula, stirring constantly until the rice is heated through and grains are separated.
  7. Push the rice and shrimp to the sides of the wok to make a hole in the center.
  8. Add the cooked peas, bamboo shoots, diced ham, chicken, and roast pork to the center. Stir until thoroughly heated and mixed with the rice.
  9. Return the scrambled eggs to the wok.
  10. Sprinkle the soy sauce evenly over the rice and mix well until the rice is uniformly colored.
  11. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
  12. Garnish with additional chopped scallions if desired and serve immediately.
