Din Tai Fung fried rice recipe with shrimp and eggs is an easy copycat recipe from the famous Taiwanese restaurant. Ready in 20 minutes!

Let’s get started!

Prep the rice

01

Gently separate the rice grains with your hands so there are no clumps of rice. This is critical to ensure each grain has a crispy texture.

Cook the shrimp

02

Pan fry in oil over medium heat for about 1 minute per side or until about 80-90 percent cooked. Turn off the heat, transfer the shrimp out to set aside.

Eggs/Rice/Season

03

Pour in the eggs, quickly break them up, add the rice and seasonings (with bouillon powder). Toss and combine with the shrimp and scallions.

Plating

04

To plate like the restaurant, use a round bowl. Place the shrimp at the bottom of the bowl and pack the rice grains on top. Invert the bowl over the plate to form into a dome shape.
