Directions

1
Heat a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat.
2
Add 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil and swirl to coat the wok.
3
Add the shrimp and stir-fry just until pink, about 2 minutes.
4
Remove shrimp from the wok and set aside.
5
Add the beaten eggs to the wok and scramble until set but still slightly runny.
6
Remove eggs from the pan, breaking them into bite-sized pieces, and set aside. Wipe the wok clean.
7
Return the wok to high heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut oil, and swirl to coat.
8
Reduce heat to medium-high. Add the green onions, garlic, and ginger, and stir-fry until the onions are half-cooked, about 1 minute.
9
Add the red bell pepper and stir-fry until just tender but still crisp, about 2 minutes.
10
Add the cold rice, spreading it all over the wok and tossing to heat through. Fry for 5 to 7 minutes, adding a little more oil if the rice sticks.
11
Add the thawed peas and toss to heat through, about 1 minute.
12
Return the reserved shrimp, scrambled eggs, and cubed barbecued pork to the wok. Add salt to taste.
13
