Yellow Fried Rice with shrimp (Nasi Goreng)

This is the first time I have participated in Ayin's event “Masak Bareng Yuk... (Let's cook together)”. Check on HER blog she has plenty of yummy Indonesian recipes. This month the subject is “fried rice”. Many Indonesian cook their fried rice in different ways, but basically it doesn't taste much different. This time I am making yellow fried rice with shrimp and veggies.

That day was a beautiful day so I was feeling very happy. The sun finally came out and the temperature was getting warmer even though it was still quite breezy. My lil N and I went out to clean up the yard. Left over leaves from last year which we didn't have a chance to get all cleaned up, as the winter came so early last year.

My son was pretty helpful boy not much he could do but just to see him enjoy the outdoor fun it brought me joy. At least that day we weren't stuck at home. Nathaniel saw the nice leaf piles I had made and couldn't resist but to jump in them and make a huge mess AGAIN!

Yellow Fried Rice
1 ½ cups medium grain rice
2 eggs
salt and pepper
tomatoes
frozen veggies (green beans, carrots, corns)
shrimps
3 garlic clove, crushed
2 shallot, crushed
green onion, chopped
turmeric
½ tsp chinese five-spice powder

Cook the rice in boiling water or cook it on rice cooker.

Beat each egg separately with 2 teaspoons of cold water and salt and pepper. Fry separately like scrambled eggs.

Heat the oil in a preheated wok or large skillet. Add the garlic, shallot, chinese five-spices and turmeric. Stir-fry for 30 seconds.

And vegetables and shrimps. Stir-fry ingredients in the wok for 2 minutes.

Stir rice and scramble eggs into the mixture in the wok for one more minute. And transfer to serving dishes.

Yes it is officially spring here, and I am hoping we will have more and more nice day. So I can play outside with my dear son.

Happy Spring!
