Cooking method

Step 1:

Gather all the ingredients for this dish, shown in the photo. The shrimp and squid should be raw, not cooked, since they'll be stir-fried in the wok. Everything here is for 2 servings. One important note — don't salt the rice while it cooks! The soy sauce will provide the salt later. I'm sure everyone knows how to cook rice, so I won't go into that.

The one thing I'll add is that it helps to add a little turmeric to the water when cooking the rice, so it turns yellow and even more flavorful.
Ideally, cook this dish in a wok over a gas burner. If you don't have a gas stove or a wok, you can try a regular skillet on an electric range, but the flavor won't be quite the same and it'll take longer. So: set the wok over the highest heat on the gas burner. Heat the empty wok for 15 seconds. Pour in coconut oil (olive oil works too, or plain sunflower oil in a pinch). After 15 seconds, add the onion and garlic. After 10 seconds, add the squid and shrimp, stirring constantly. After 1 minute, crack in 2 eggs and scramble them with a spatula, breaking them into lots of small firm bits. After 15 seconds, toss in the tomato pieces and keep stirring. After 10 seconds, add the cooked rice, pour over the mix of soy sauce and sugar, sprinkle with hot pepper to taste, and stir nonstop for the next 3 minutes. Done! In a carbon-steel wok over a gas flame, the whole thing should take no more than 5 minutes. With a wok of a different material or a regular skillet, it may stretch to about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat. Squeeze lemon juice over the dish and scatter cilantro leaves on top (no cilantro? plain parsley or green onion works). Enjoy!
