INSTRUCTIONS

1
We start by chopping everything. Spread the cooked rice on a baking sheet to separate the grains and let it cool.
2
Wash the shrimp. Season with pepper, drizzle with olive oil, and add 1 crushed garlic clove and 1 chili pepper to taste. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pan or wok and briefly sauté the shrimp. It takes 2–3 minutes until they turn pink and firm. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
3
Add another tablespoon of oil and scramble the eggs in the pan over medium heat. Stir until soft scrambled eggs form. Set them aside with the shrimp.
4
In the same pan, sauté the remaining garlic and onion until fragrant. Add the carrot, peas, and half of the leek, and stir-fry quickly and very briefly. The vegetables must remain crunchy.
5
Add the rice to the pan and stir to heat evenly. In a bowl, mix fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and lime juice. Pour into the pan. Stir the rice so that it is evenly coated in the sauces.
6
Finally, mix in the shrimp, eggs, coriander, and the second half of the leek. Stir and let it heat for another minute. Serve with lime caviar and chili pepper to taste.
