Preparation Steps
- In a bowl, combine the peeled shrimp and crab meat with soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, lemon juice, and a pinch of white pepper. Mix well and allow the seafood to marinate for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Chop your carrots, bell peppers, onions, green onions, and ginger into uniform, bite-sized pieces. Set everything aside in an organized manner.
- Place a large wok or non-stick skillet over high heat until it’s slightly smoking. Add vegetable oil and swirl to coat the surface.
- Carefully add the marinated shrimp and crab to the hot wok, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until cooked through. Remove from wok.
- Toss in minced garlic, ginger, and chopped onions, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Introduce the prepared carrots, green peas, and diced bell peppers to the wok, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.
- Push the vegetable mixture to one side of the wok, pour the beaten eggs into the empty side, allowing to set before gently scrambling.
- Incorporate the day-old jasmine rice into the wok, breaking up clumps and stir-frying for 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a drizzle of sesame oil. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes while seasoning with salt and black pepper.
- Return the cooked shrimp and crab to the wok, tossing everything together for 1-2 minutes. Optionally, add unsalted butter for richness.
- Garnish with freshly chopped green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes
Using day-old rice is essential for the perfect texture. Make sure to preheat the wok for authentic stir-fry flavor.
