Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a large wok. Add the red onion and vegetables, then stir-fry for 2 mins until starting to wilt. Throw in the prawns, garlic and fish sauce and cook everything together for 3-4 mins until the prawns change colour and cook through. (If using cooked prawns, you just need to stir them into the rice to warm through before serving.)

  • step 2

    Scatter in the rice, then carry on cooking for 3-4 mins until the rice is piping hot. Serve scattered with coriander and pass round the soy sauce bottle for those who want it.

RECIPE TIPS
KNOW-HOW

Cold cooked rice makes a great standby ingredient and gives the best results for fried rice. To ensure that cooked rice is safe to eat, always chill it as soon as it is cool, reheat thoroughly from cold until piping hot and never leave it in the fridge for longer than 2 days. Great on the BBQ.

Very tasty. Used basmati rice, left out the broccoli, used fine french beans instead and some ginger...absolutely lovely.

What a simple, tasty recipe. I loved it and the second portion is waiting in the fridge for my boyfriend, if he likes it too it'll become a firm favourite!

Really good midweek supper, I added some ginger, sweet chilli sauce & the juice of 1 lime. We loved it & a great way to use up leftover rice.

This is a great, easy recipe, thanks.

I altered a little by adding two cloves of crushed garlic , half a teaspoon of shredded fresh ginger, two deseeded and chopped green chillies,and the white of three small spring onions at the first ( fry onions) stage. Also, instead of adding plain rice I made…
