For this recipe, we recreate a take-out classic: shrimp fried rice. We believe everything is better cooked on a grill, so we head over to our Weber Master Touch charcoal grill, which includes a "Gourmet BBQ System" that allows you to take out the center of your cooking grid and use different inserts, such as a griddle, pizza stone or wok (which we used today). The key point for this recipe is to allow your rice to cool down completely so the extra moisture doesn't turn your dish into mush.

  6. Put a little more oil in the wok, then add the diced yellow onion, shredded carrots and ginger paste, toss around, then add the garlic paste and toss just until fragrant.
  7. Now add rice and toss, allowing it to cook and crisp up for 2 to 3 minutes. Once crisp, push the rice up the side of the wok and pour the eggs into the center. Allow the eggs to cook until lightly set up (about a minute). Once set up, begin chopping the eggs and mixing them in with the rice and continue cooking it all together for another minute or two.
