Ingredients

1 12 cups raw basmati rice, cooked at least 1 day in advance to make about 4 1/2 cups cooked rice
1 cup raw small shrimp, shelled,deveined and split in half lengthwise
1 teaspoon baking soda
salt
14 teaspoon salt
12 cup peanut oil or 12 cup vegetable oil or 12 cup corn oil, divided
12 cup thinly sliced Chinese sausage (4 small) or 12 cup cooked ham, diced
3 eggs
12 cup cooked green peas, fresh or frozen
salt
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
34 cup fresh bean sprout
12 cup chopped scallion, green part included

Directions

1

Fluff the rice so that it's not sticking together; set aside.
2

Mix shrimp, baking soda and salt to taste; set aside for at least 15 minutes; rinse and pat dry.
3

Heat 1/4 cup oil in a wok or skillet until almost smoking; add shrimp and stir until pink, about 30 seconds; remove and drain in a sieve set over a bowl.
4

Heat the remaining 1/4 cup oil in the wok; add sausages or ham and stir until heated through; add rice, stir rapidly until heated and not browned.
5

Quickly make a well in the center of the rice and add the eggs, constantly stirring; when they are softly scrambled, start incorporating them by stirring in a circular fashion.
6

When rice and eggs are mixed, add peas and salt to taste; stir in oyster sauce and shrimp, tossing rice to blend everything; stir in bean sprouts and stir another 30 seconds; add scallions and serve immediately.
