Notes

Have all your ingredients prepped and ready before you start cooking. This includes whisking eggs and measuring the sauce ingredients out. Stir-frying is a quick process and having everything ready will make it smoother. Plus, you don't want to risk overcooking the shrimp. Alternatively, cook the shrimp first and set aside then, add it back to the finished egg sauce.
The best way to control heat and moisture when stir frying rice is to cook in smaller batches and to use cold, day old rice.
Throughout the cooking process, taste your dish to adjust the seasoning. Add more soy sauce, salt, or other seasonings as needed.
