In a bowl, mix shrimp with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, pressed garlic, and chicken broth. Let marinate briefly.

Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a large wok or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Sear shrimp for about 2 minutes per side until opaque. Remove from pan and set aside.
04 -
Add 1-2 tablespoons peanut oil to the pan, reduce heat to medium and add diced onion and carrot. Stir and sauté for several minutes until soft.
05 -
Stir in thawed peas and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Cook until vegetables are tender.

Push vegetables to the side, add garlic and ginger to the center of the pan, sauté briefly until fragrant, then mix with the vegetables.

Create space in the pan, pour in whisked eggs and cover. Let eggs set for about a minute, then scramble and combine with vegetables.

Fluff rice and add it to the pan. Mix thoroughly with vegetables and eggs.

# Helpful Hints:
01 -
For best texture and flavor, use leftover day-old rice. Reheat leftovers in a pan rather than microwave and add a splash of chicken broth mixed with soy sauce to preserve moisture.
