- 2 Eggs, lightly beaten

Instructions
Cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions and let it cool completely, preferably overnight, for the best texture.
In a large wok or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add shrimp to the pan and cook until they turn pink, about 3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and stir gently until they start to set. Break them up into small pieces with a spatula.
Add diced carrot and peas to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Stir in the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps. Keep stirring until the rice is heated through, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the cooked shrimp back to the pan along with sliced green onions.
Pour soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar over the rice. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, ensuring the rice is evenly coated with the sauces.
Remove from heat and mix in the chopped cilantro.
Serve the Thai fried rice with sliced cucumber, tomato, and lime wedges on the side.
