How to make Rice with Kanikama and Shrimp
- Step 1
In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet, pour in the beaten eggs, and let them set on one side. Flip the omelet to cook the other side.
- Step 2
Once cooked, let the omelet cool and cut it into thin strips.
- Step 3
Mince the garlic cloves. In a skillet with a little oil, sauté the garlic until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink.
- Step 4
Add the peas, chicken breast strips, the sliced omelet, and the kanikama (cut into rounds). Stir everything together with a wooden spoon.
- Step 5
Add the boiled white rice to the skillet. Mix everything well and let it cook for a few minutes so the rice warms through and absorbs the flavors.
