A food-truck favorite featuring fluffy, separate grains of fried rice topped with savory black bean sauce.
📝 Editor's Notes
With just eggs, rice, and shrimp, you can make this fluffy fried rice in about 15 minutes.
It is a moderately easy dish that even beginners can manage if they handle the wok well.
The nuttiness of the egg, the savory flavor of the shrimp, and the salty-sweet richness of jajang sauce (짜장 소스) make it satisfying enough for a full meal.
Because the rice stays light and separate, it works well even in summer when your appetite is low, or as a late-night meal.
Yellow chives add a bright aroma that gives it that distinctive food-truck flavor.
🛒 Ingredient Tips
Peeled frozen cocktail shrimp are convenient, but fresh shrimp give the best firm, springy texture.
Choose shrimp that look translucent, feel resilient, and have little to no fishy smell.
Yellow chives have a milder, softer aroma than regular chives; look for ones with fresh tips and a clear yellow color.
They are best in spring and fall, when their aroma is most pronounced.
For rice, cooled day-old rice works better than freshly cooked rice because it has less moisture and fries up fluffier.
🔄 Substitution Guide
If shrimp is too expensive or you have an allergy, you can use chicken breast or imitation crab instead.
Chicken breast is lean but less springy, while imitation crab adds a slightly sweet flavor.
Yellow chives can be hard to find, so regular chives or scallions work too, though their aroma will be stronger and sharper.
If you do not have jajang sauce (짜장 소스), use 1 tbsp oyster sauce or store-bought jajang powder (짜장가루).
Oyster sauce will make the fried rice more savory and clean-tasting rather than giving it the signature sweet black bean flavor.
For the mixed vegetables, finely chopped carrots, onion, and peas from the fridge are perfectly fine.
🥘 Ingredients
👨🍳 Cooking Points
The key is high heat and speed.
Heat the wok thoroughly before adding oil, then stir-fry everything within 3 to 4 minutes once the ingredients go in so the rice does not clump.
Beginners often use heat that is too low, which can make the rice turn mushy, so keep the heat high from the start.
Add the rice while the egg is still softly scrambled so it coats the grains well.
Shrimp can turn tough if overcooked, so move to the next step as soon as they turn pink.
Do not stir-fry the jajang sauce (짜장 소스) with the rice; spoon it on at the end to keep the grains distinct.
👨🍳 Directions
Heat oil in a wok, crack in the egg, and scramble it. Add the rice and stir-fry together.
Add the mixed vegetables and shrimp, then stir-fry quickly.
Add the yellow chives for aroma, then toss the rice in a swirling motion so the grains separate.
Transfer the finished fried rice to a bowl and serve generously topped with jajang sauce (짜장 소스).
💡 Tips
Keep the wok moving and stir-fry quickly so the rice grains stay fluffy and separate.
Serving it with jajang sauce (짜장 소스) adds deeper, richer flavor.
📦 Storage & Reuse
Let the finished fried rice cool slightly, then store it in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator or up to 2 weeks in the freezer.
To reheat, stir-fry it briefly in a dry pan rather than using the microwave; this helps the rice grains become fluffy again.
If it seems too dry, add just a tiny bit of oil.
Store the jajang sauce (짜장 소스) separately from the rice and spoon it on right before eating to preserve the best flavor and texture.
Leftover shrimp or vegetables can also be used in egg soup or instant ramen.
🥢 Who This Is For
This is great as a hearty solo meal, a kids’ snack, or a late-night meal after drinking.
Thanks to the jajang sauce (짜장 소스), it does not need side dishes, but crunchy Korean pickled radish, chicken-mu (치킨무), or yellow pickled radish helps cut through the richness.
Serve it with egg drop soup or a spicy seafood soup broth for a Chinese-Korean restaurant-style set meal.

💬 Frequently Asked Questions
- Q. What ingredients do I need for Food Truck-Style Shrimp Fried Rice with Black Bean Sauce?
- Main ingredients include eggs, cooked rice, mixed vegetables, shrimp, yellow chives. Choose shrimp that look translucent and firm. If using frozen shrimp, avoid packages with a thick layer of frost on the shells, which can be a sign they have been stored too long. Yellow chives are pale chives grown without direct sunlight; look for bright yellow color, plump stems, and tips that are not mushy. They are best in spring, when their aroma is especially mild. Day-old chilled rice works better than freshly cooked rice because it has less moisture and stir-fries into fluffier grains.
- Q. What are the key tips for making Food Truck-Style Shrimp Fried Rice with Black Bean Sauce?
- Heat control is the key. Get the wok fully hot, then stir-fry quickly over high heat so the rice grains stay separate instead of clumping. Add the rice when the eggs are only half-set, before they fully cook, so the eggs coat the grains and keep them fluffy. Shrimp can turn tough if cooked too long, so move on as soon as they turn pink. Add the yellow chives only during the last 30 seconds so their fragrance stays fresh. Spoon the jajang sauce (짜장 소스) on top at the end instead of mixing it into the rice, so the flavor stays distinct.
- Q. How should I store leftover Food Truck-Style Shrimp Fried Rice with Black Bean Sauce?
- Store the fried rice in an airtight container for 2-3 days in the refrigerator or 2-3 weeks in the freezer. Keep the jajang sauce (짜장 소스) separate and add it when serving so the rice does not turn soggy. For reheating, stir-fry it again in a pan with a little oil rather than microwaving, which helps bring back the fluffy texture. Leftover yellow chives can be chopped into steamed eggs or savory pancakes.
- Q. How many calories are in Food Truck-Style Shrimp Fried Rice with Black Bean Sauce?
- One serving is estimated at about 550-650 calories. A bowl of rice and the stir-frying oil make carbohydrates the largest component at about 70-80 g, while the shrimp and eggs provide about 18-22 g of protein. Fat is roughly 20-25 g from the oil and frying process. Shrimp is a lean, high-protein ingredient rich in selenium and vitamin B12, and yellow chives provide beta-carotene and fiber. Since jajang sauce (짜장 소스) can be high in sodium, adjust the amount of sauce to taste.
- Q. Can I substitute ingredients in Food Truck-Style Shrimp Fried Rice with Black Bean Sauce?
- If you do not have shrimp or need to avoid shellfish, chicken breast or squid works well. The dish will still taste clean and savory, though it will lose some of shrimp’s natural sweetness. If yellow chives are hard to find, use regular chives or scallions; the aroma will be stronger and the color greener. If you do not have jajang sauce (짜장 소스), mix a little chunjang (춘장) into oyster sauce, or season simply with soy sauce and sugar. In that case, the color and sweetness will be lighter, so a small drizzle of sesame oil can help round out the flavor.
