Instructions
- 1Dice the carrots and bell pepper into small, uniform pieces. Mince the garlic. Slice the green onions, keeping white and green parts separate. Beat the eggs in a bowl. Cook the jasmine rice according to package directions, then spread on a sheet pan to cool completely. Dice the tomato. Have all ingredients prepped and within arm's reach of the stove.
- 2Heat a large wok or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water dances across the surface, about 1–2 minutes. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.
- 3Add the diced carrots and bell pepper. Cook 3–4 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften and carrots show slight color.
- 4Add the shrimp, minced garlic, and the white parts of the green onions. Cook 2–3 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the shrimp turn opaque and firm (internal temp reaches 145°F).
- 5Push the shrimp and vegetables to one side of the pan. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and immediately scramble with a spatula, cooking 1–2 minutes over medium-high heat until just set and broken into small curds. Fold everything together gently.
- 6Add the cooled rice, breaking up any clumps with the back of your spoon. Stir-fry 2–3 minutes over medium-high heat, spreading the rice into a single layer and pressing it against the pan bottom until lightly crisped on the bottom.
- 7Stir in the diced tomato, fish sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, half the cilantro, and the green parts of the green onions. Cook 30 seconds over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until flavors are combined and tomato is heated through.
- 8Divide the fried rice evenly into 4 airtight containers while hot. Serve topped with fresh cucumber slices, lime wedges, and remaining cilantro.
