shrimp fried rice at the restaurant.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice
3 cups water
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup fresh bean sprouts
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 cups cooked medium shrimp, peeled and
deveined without tail
1/4 cup chopped green onion
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions:
In a saucepan bring water to a boil. Add rice and stir.
Reduce heat,cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Set aside and allow rice to cool.
Heat a large skillet or wok for 2 minutes.
When the skillet or wok is hot, pour in vegetable oil,
bean sprouts and onions. Mix well and cook for 3 minutes.
Mix in cooled rice and shrimp and cook for another
3 minutes. Stirring constantly. Mix in green onions,
eggs, salt, pepper, soy sauce and sesame oil.
Cook for another 4 minutes, stirring continuously,
until eggs are cooked and everything is blended evenly.
