This is good. I mostly followed recipe, except added a clove of minced garlic with the ginger and used romaine instead of iceberg lettuce which I’d recommend. Used leftover pork tenderloin and a few shrimp, no ham. I’m not crazy about the method. When it was done it tasted okay but was too wet and too white. So I stir fried it a couple minutes to dry it out and try to brown a little, but it still didn’t look right so I added a little soy sauce at the end, mainly for color. Then it was good.
I will never make fried rice again any other way!! This was delicious and so straightforward!
Something about this technique really works. I did add garlic with the ginger. For the veg used frozen peas and cabbage cut into approx 1” squares. Only had leftover pork. Will get some shrimp for next time.
