The Rice
Cook the rice in a rice cooker, these give the best results. But if you are poor, cook your rice on the oven. The trick to cooking rice is this: before you use any, make sure the grains are thoroughly cleansed, dirty rice makes mushy cooked rice, which is only desirable when you have food poisoning. For every one part rice, there should be two parts water. Babysit your rice as if it were a pyromaniac child. If you overcook rice its not good. Set it on medium heat and just watch over it, you can lower the heat when you see less water and you’re worried it is evaporating too fast.
The Shrimp
I am not yet pro so I used cooked frozen shrimp. Yor can get it in a bag at your grocery store and its pretty easy to thaw. You can FLASH BOIL it, which means placing it in boiling water for abotu 5 minutes or less, until it is clear and looks thawed. OR You can run it under cold water for five minutes. OR you can leave it to thaw in the fridge overnight. I prefer to FLASH BOIL cause it is super pro. If you have raw uncooked shrimp you are on your own.
The Veggies
Dice up your veggies. You must use LOTS of tomatoes and LOTS of onion.
The Pan
Take a pan, coat the bottom with cooking oil, you can use whatever you want, I use olive sometimes and vegetable others. Throw on your vegetables, stick in your ginger and garlic. To your taste, I don’t use to much because ginger is pretty strong. A half a teaspoon of garlic and just a little ginger. Let this get going real nice. Then throw in your thawed shrimp.
Cooking time???
I have asked many people the appropriate cooking time for shrimp, some said you only need to heat it up, so five minutes, other said ten or fifteen minutes with all the vegetables. Do whatever you think is safe, it tastes pretty excellent either way.
The Most Important Step
Take your cooked rice. Take your bowl. Take your rice and fill the little bowl, pat it down with a spoon. Turn the bowl over onto your plate and tap it so the rice mound falls out in an awesome shape. This is a trick My Grandma Iae taught me.
Put your shrimp on the rice mound and serve. You’re a master chef.
