Thai Fried Rice with Shrimp

Cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions (ideally prepare it the day before or let it cool completely). Loosen the cold rice on a baking sheet or plate so the grains don't stick. Prepare the carrot, onion, garlic, and leek as indicated.

Wash the shrimp and pat them dry. Season with a little pepper and part of the chopped garlic. Heat 1 tbsp of oil strongly in a wok or large pan and sear the shrimp for about 2–3 minutes until pink and firm. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Add another tbsp of oil to the pan. Briefly whisk the eggs, add them to the pan, and stir until they form soft scrambled eggs. Remove them as well and add them to the shrimp.
