Method

  • step 1

    Tip the rice into a pan of boiling, salted water and simmer for 10 minutes, adding the peas for the last 3 minutes. Drain well.

  • step 2

    While the rice is cooking, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan or wok. Add the onion and bacon and stir fry for 3-4 minutes, until the onion starts to turn golden and the bacon begins to cook. Stir in the curry paste and cook for a few seconds, then tip in the prawns and heat them through for a minute or so.

  • step 3

    Push the prawn mixture to one side of the pan and add the drop of oil to the other side. Pour the egg into the oil, stir until cooked like scrambled eggs, then mix into the prawns. Add the rice and peas and mix well. Serve immediately, with soy sauce for sprinkling, if you like.

This was disgusting like a 1970’s buffet dish. A waste of good prawns. Worst thing I have ever made

If you like to order Special Fried Rice at the Chinese takeaway, then definitely give this easy and tasty homemade version a go. I had a smaller pack of prawns than stated and had diced gammon instead of chorizo. I also added mushrooms and beansprouts to get more veg in, but overall a simple tasty…

Very tasty mid week dinner dish. Loved by all the family. Doubled all ingredients to feed 6 comfortably but instead of doubling prawns I substituted with 1 chicken breast. Bacon, prawn and chicken worked very well together.
