Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 For the marinade: Whisk together all marinade ingredients in medium-sized bowl. 2 For the sauce: Whisk together all the sauce ingredients together in another medium-sized bowl. 3 For the fried rice: Slice the shrimp in half lengthwise then crosswise. Add shrimp to bowl with sauce. Toss to coat. Set aside for 20 minutes. 4 Place wok over high heat until lightly smoking. Add bacon. Stir-fry until much of the fat has rendered off and bacon begins to crisp up, one to two minutes. Turn off heat, spoon out bacon, and drain on paper towel-lined plate. Transfer all but 1/2 tablespoon of fat to another container and save for another use. 5 Turn heat back to high. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of peanut oil. When it begins to smoke, add eggs.
