Ingredients:

3 large eggs
1½ tablespoons soy sauce
½ teaspoon sesame oil
¼ cup canola oil
1 medium yellow onion, very thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled ginger
Kosher salt, to taste
3 cups cooked jasmine rice, at room temperature
⅓ pound medium shrimp, deveined and cut into bite-size pieces
2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
⅓ cup roughly chopped cilantro
⅓ cup thinly sliced pickled rhubarb
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with the soy sauce and sesame oil. Set aside.
2. In a wok or large skillet over high heat, warm 2 tablespoons of canola oil.
3. Add the onions and cook, tossing often, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Add the garlic and ginger, season with salt and cook for 1 more minute. Remove and set aside.
5. Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil into the wok over high heat.
6. Add the eggs and cook, stirring constantly until just set, 40 seconds to 1 minute.
7. Add the rice, shrimp and onion mixture.
8. Season with salt and cook, stirring often to prevent sticking, until the shrimp is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
