Stir-fried rice with vegetables, soy sauce, and shrimp. It’s an easy and quick way to prepare a lunch or dinner even at the last minute.

The cooking of stir-fried rice with vegetables will be done in two distinct phases.

The first is boiling in water, from which we will obtain an excellent and classic white rice, still, however, devoid of taste and flavors. Once ready, we can then stir-fry it together with the seasoning using the wok, the typical oriental pan that we can really use in an indescribable myriad of recipes.

In case you don’t have it in your kitchen, you can still replace the wok with a wide non-stick pan; it won’t technically be the same thing, but the result will be just as good!

I want to specify that I provide my version of stir-fried rice with vegetables made with a combination of ingredients that we find particularly pleasant to the taste.

However, you are free to “integrate” or replace the vegetables you prefer, using for example bean sprouts or cabbage. And to add shrimp or not.

You have the freedom to make this recipe your recipe.

1 onion

12 shrimps

Steps for Stir-fried Rice with Vegetables and Soy Sauce

First, wash the rice well.
Fill the pot halfway with tap water, and using our hands, rinse the rice to remove the surface starch.
Then drain the rice using a strainer or colander and pour it back into the pot.
Add water again and repeat the washing operation several times until the water is clear.
Once the rice washing is finished, drain it well and pour it into the cooking pot. Then add 3 cups of water, cover with a lid, and turn on the stove, cooking over medium heat.
Continue cooking the rice until it has fully absorbed the water.
The water will completely dry, thus you will have a kind of steam cooking.
Do not stir the rice, to check the degree of cooking, take some grains from the top layer.
While the rice is cooking, let’s prepare the vegetable and shrimp seasoning.
Clean the shrimp.
Clean the shrimp by removing heads, shells, and the vein
Wash the zucchini, trim it, dry it, and cut it into sticks, I cut it by hand to have thin sticks.
(I used two yellow zucchinis and two green ones but only green zucchinis are also fine)
(Then cut it in half and with the help of a peeler or a mandoline, obtain long thin slices. If you don’t have a mandoline, you can easily use a knife and make a “julienne” cut).
Do the same with the carrots.
Slice the onion.
Put a good drizzle of oil in a wok or a non-stick pan with high edges, add the sliced onion and stew over low heat for about 5 minutes.
We pour inside the carrot slices and the zucchinis.
Sauté the vegetables over high heat for 5 minutes.
Then lengthen the seasoning with 2 3/4 tbsp of soy sauce.
Mix the ingredients to flavor the vegetables for another 2 or 3 minutes.
Add the previously cleaned shrimp.
Then transfer the rice to the wok, (which in the meantime will have absorbed the water and finished its cooking).
Add a little more soy sauce.
(Be cautious with the salt).
Add some sesame seeds. (if you don’t like them, don’t put them).
Mix and stir-fry it together with the vegetables, always over high heat, so that it absorbs the seasoning and gains flavor.
After a couple of minutes we can serve our stir-fried rice with vegetables, a succulent and delicious dish you will see how good it is.
Enjoy your meal.
