Notes & Tips

Day-old rice is the move here — fresh-cooked rice is too moist and turns the whole thing into a clump. Cook rice in the morning and let it sit uncovered in the fridge, or use leftover rice from the night before. Buy shrimp already peeled and deveined; it cuts prep to basically nothing. Keep the heat high when you stir-fry — you want the shrimp to sear, not steam. The whole thing comes together in 20 minutes flat.
