Ingredients
Instructions
First, scramble the eggs, set aside.
Heat a little oil in a pan. Fry the shrimp until cooked, then add rice, soy sauce, light soy sauce, mushroom bouillon, sugar, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure the seasoning is absorbed into the rice.
Pour in the prepared scrambled eggs and add chopped green onions. Cook until all ingredients are well mixed and perfectly cooked.
Remove the fried rice from the pan and serve, garnished with cilantro leaves or slices of fresh cucumber if desired.

Note
- Use Cold Rice: It's best to use cold rice or at least rice that has been left in the refrigerator for a few hours. Cold rice will be easier to process and the result will be drier and less mushy.
- Use high heat: When cooking fried rice, using high heat to get a smokey aroma is a good choice if you want a strong distinctive taste in fried rice but be careful not to burn it.
