As an Asian, I love your less oily (hence healthier) version of this shrimp fried rice!

[rudyvel]

Bless your heart for all you share! Yet another recipe I can't wait to try! White pepper and jarred ginger on my shopping list. I have everything else! Have an awesome weekend Lisa!

One tip I learned from my mom is to put the tamari/ soy sauce directly on the pan so it will get more aromatic before mixing it with rice.

I just tried this recipe with ground turkey and my family loved it. Thank you for all the great recipes.

Thank you for a wonderful recipe! I just made this for lupper and both my husband and I really liked it! My super market didn't have fresh ginger, so I just added a little sprinkle of the dried ginger - it was still so, so good!!

I happen to have all the ingredients am making this for my work lunch meal prep. Thank you Lisa for your channel and group I have learned so much from you on how to eat healthy and tasty food!

I just made fried rice the other day. I had leftover rice and chicken. Thanks for keeping it simple!
If you want to change it just a little if you make it ahem, add oyster sauce to taste. Tablespoon depending on size if recipe. I love your tips. Thanks

Shrimp fried is one of my favorite meals to order out. I am looking forward to cooking this myself and can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing!

[PattyM]

Just made this, and It was so yummy. I prefer this version over the restaurants that i go to because they always put way too much oil and sauce. This is light, and so much healthier. You have become my go to for all recipes as they always come out great, thanks to perfect measurements and explanation in all your videos. Looking forward to purchasing your cookbook. Love your channel!:)) your a delight !
