Ingredients

1 teaspoon peanut oil

2 cups rice, jasmine, cooked
1 yellow capsicum, deseeded and diced

2 spring onions, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce, light
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
lime juice

Heat wok or large frying pan until very hot. Add peanut oil then beaten eggs and stir fry until set. Cut the egg up as you go with a spatula. Add the prawns and stir fry for one minute. Tip the cooked egg and prawn mix out onto a plate and put aside.
Place the wok back on the heat. Add more peanut oil. Tip in the cooked rice, capsicum and mushrooms and stir. As you stir keep breaking up the rice. Stir fry for about 3 minutes.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your fried rice. Look for large, succulent prawns and fragrant, long-grain rice.

Cook the rice properly: The rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. If the rice is overcooked, it will become mushy and the fried rice will be less flavorful.

Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the rice from sticking and will also impart a subtle smoky flavor to the dish.

Don't overcrowd the wok: When adding the ingredients to the wok, do it in batches so that they have room to cook properly. Overcrowding the wok will result in steamed rice and vegetables instead of fried rice.

Use a high heat: Fried rice is best cooked over a high heat so that the rice gets a nice sear and the vegetables remain crisp.

Add the sauce at the end: The sauce should be added to the rice at the very end of the cooking process so that it doesn't overpower the other flavors.

Conclusion:

Prawn fried rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. By following these tips, you can make sure that your prawn fried rice is flavorful, aromatic, and perfectly cooked. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give prawn fried rice a try!
