Note

For best results, use day-old cooled wild rice. Freshly cooked rice tends to be too moist and can become mushy when fried.

You can substitute the shrimp with chicken breast or tofu for a different protein profile.

If you don't have oyster sauce, soy sauce mixed with a little sugar can be used as a substitute, though the flavor will be slightly different.

Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
