Ingredients

6 cups rice cooked
8 dried scallops
6 egg whites
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white pepper ground
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 stalk green onions chopped

Instructions

Gently rinse the dried scallops in room temperature water to remove any impurities. Soak the scallops in a bowl of hot water for 30 minutes (until softened).
Remove the scallops from the water (save the soaking water for another use, it's super flavorful). Shred the scallops as fine as you can and set aside.
In a large pan over high heat, add some oil and scramble the egg whites until just set. Remove the eggs whites to a plate.
In the same pan, add more oil and half of the shredded scallops. Saute for 2 minutes until the scallops are golden. Remove from the pan and set aside. (We will add this portion of "crispy" scallops to the fried rice at the very end.)
Add more oil to the pan and the other half of the scallops. Turn the heat to medium and add the other half of the scallops.
Saute for 1 minute then add the rice. Mix the rice with the scallops and stir fry everything together for about 5 minutes.
Season with the fish sauce and salt.
Add the scrambled egg whites back in. Stir fry for another 1 minute.
Drizzle in the sesame oil. Add the white pepper and chopped green onions. Give it another stir to mix.
Top with the other half of the scallops (the crisp golden ones!) that we cooked in Step 4. The fried rice is now ready to eat and enjoy ^_^
