  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 4 ounces chicken livers, rinsed, patted dry
  • Kosher salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 small onion, chopped
  • 1/2 celery stalk, finely chopped
  • 1/2 small poblano chile, with seeds, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoons finely chopped peeled ginger
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoons black vinegar
  • 1 tablespoons hot sauce (such as Crystal)
  • 1 tablespoons Thai crab or shrimp paste with bean oil
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs, beaten to blend
  • 3 cups cooled cooked jasmine rice (from 1 cup dry)
  • 4 ounces large shrimp (about 6), peeled, deveined, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 pickled jalapeno, sliced
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • Old Bay seasoning, MSG (optional), and chili oil (for serving)
  1. Heat 1 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken livers with salt and pepper and cook until browned on the outside but still pink inside, about 1 1/2 minutes per side.
  2. Transfer to a large plate and let cool. Pulse in a food processor to a coarse paste; set chicken liver paste aside.
  3. Heat remaining 1 tablespoons oil in same skillet over medium-high heat and cook onion, celery, chile, garlic, and ginger, scraping up any browned bits, until vegetables are tender, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add soy sauce, vinegar, hot sauce, crab paste, reserved chicken liver paste, and 1/4 cup water to skillet. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until a thick dry paste forms. (You should have about 1/2 cup.)
  5. Heat oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Cook eggs, stirring constantly, until fluffy and just set, about 1 minute. Add rice and cook, stirring often, until rice is evenly coated and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes.
  6. Add shrimp and chicken-liver base and stir to coat. Cook, stirring often, until shrimp is cooked through, about 2 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in jalapeño.
  8. Serve fried rice topped with scallions, Old Bay seasoning, and MSG, if using, and drizzled with chili oil.
