Description

A fast, flavorful fried rice loaded with juicy prawns, fluffy eggs, mixed vegetables, crunchy cashews, and aromatic sauces—perfect for a quick and versatile weeknight meal.


Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables
  • 2 eggs, whisked
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
  • 400 g raw prawns
  • 1 Tbsp sweet chilli sauce
  • 1 spring onion, finely sliced
  • 1/2 cup roasted cashew nuts
  • Basil or coriander, to serve

Instructions

  1. Heat sesame oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add cooked rice and stir-fry for a few minutes until heated through and lightly toasted.
  2. Add the mixed vegetables and stir. Push rice to the edges of the pan to create space in the center.
  3. Pour whisked eggs into the center and cook like a small omelette. Once nearly set, fold and break into pieces.
  4. Stir everything together, then add soy sauce and oyster sauce.
  5. Add the raw prawns and sweet chilli sauce. Stir-fry until prawns turn pink and are cooked through.
  6. Top with sliced spring onion and roasted cashews.
  7. Serve hot with fresh basil or coriander.

Notes

  • Add ginger or garlic for extra aroma.
  • Use chili flakes or more sweet chilli sauce for heat.
  • Swap prawns for chicken, tofu, or leftover meats.
  • Add peas, corn, or capsicum for extra vegetables.
