PREPARATION: Start with making sauce for the recipe by mixing soya sauce, fish sauce and sugar in a small bowl. Heat 2 table spoons oil or butter in a skillet, beat in the eggs and cook for 4-5 minutes till they are done. Stir them occasionally until scrambled and set aside in a plate. Now heat remaining oil in same skillet, add chopped garlic, onions and chilly sauce. Saute them until onions become transparent. Now its time to add chopped vegetables of your choice, i added green beans and carrots, cook the the veggies till they are tender. Add cooked shrimp, eggs and the soya sauce mixture prepared earlier, stir well and cook for 4-5 minutes. Now add cooked rice and salt to the mixture, stir well until the sauces get coated to the rice. Usually cold rice is preferred for this dish because hot rice is sticky and makes the dish soggy.If there is no cold leftover rice, cook the rice and let it stand until cool enough. Finally garnish with fresh basil or cilantro. You will surely make this again :)
