Ingredients

  • 600g Cooked cold rice, about 250g uncooked rice, cooked and fully chilled
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 1 Onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 Eggs, lightly beaten
  • 300g Raw prawns, peeled and deveined, halved if large
  • 1 large Tomato, cut into wedges
  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Fish sauce
  • 1 Lime, cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup Coriander, chopped

You’ll need: Large frying pan or wok

Method

  1. Break up any clumps in the cold rice with your fingers.

  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok over high heat. Stir-fry the onion and garlic for 1 minute.

  3. Push to the side, add the eggs and scramble until just set. Add the prawns and cook for 2 minutes, turning, until pink.

  4. Add the rice, tomato, soy sauce and fish sauce and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the rice is steaming hot all the way through.

  5. Serve topped with coriander and a squeeze of lime.

Storage

Cool leftover rice quickly and refrigerate within 1 hour. Keeps up to 1 day in the fridge. Reheat once, until piping hot all the way through; reheated prawns can turn rubbery.
