Time 1h

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
2 eggs, beaten
½ pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root, minced
2 red onions, sliced
3 green chile peppers, chopped
⅔ cup fresh pineapple, diced
½ cup orange segments
6 walnuts, chopped
2 cups cold, cooked white rice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Pour in the onions, and cook until just set; set aside. Increase the heat to high, and pour another 1 teaspoon of oil to the wok. Stir in the shrimp, and cook until the shrimp turn pink, and are no longer translucent in the center, about 3 minutes; set aside.
  • Wipe out the wok, and heat the remaining teaspoon of oil over high heat. Stir in the ginger, and cook quickly for a few seconds until the ginger begins to turn golden brown. Stir in the onion and chile peppers; cook for a minute or two until the onions begin to soften and turn brown around the edges. Add the pineapple and oranges, and gently cook until the pineapple is hot.
  • Stir in the rice, walnuts, and soy sauce. Stir for a few minutes until the rice is hot. Fold in the egg, shrimp, and cilantro. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and cook to reheat.
