Prawn Fried Rice

Earlier on, I posted on how easy it was to whip up the Basic Fried Rice.
With the same basic recipe, I am going to whip up the Prawn Fried Rice! :D

Prawn Fried Rice
Prep time: 20mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Serves : 2 pax

Ingredients:
Basic Fried Rice recipe (use overnight rice)
200gm prawns (de-vein and the tails trimmed)
2 tspn corn flour
1/2 cup frozen green peas
3 tspn sesame oil
3 tspn fish sauce
3 pcs bird's eye chili (chili padi)
Salt and Pepper to taste

P/S: Why use overnight rice? 
Left in the fridge overnight, the rice grains will firm up, making it easier to separate and decreasing the chances of your fried rice turning out mushy. If you can’t wait, air freshly-cooked rice to remove moisture and refrigerate the rice for two hours before cooking.



Method:
1. Whisked the eggs, add in fish sauce and sesame oil to the eggs and set aside.
2. Add the corn flour to the prawns and set aside. This is to firm the prawns and create crunchy texture.


3. Heat up the oil.
4. Fry the garlic and onions. Do not over fried, just enough to caramelised the onions.


5. Add in the prawns, chili and green peas. Dont over stir.


6. Add in eggs. When its half done, add in rice.


7. Taste the fried rice BEFORE adding salt. Fish sauce is salty. Different brand will have a different level of saltiness. Add salt if needed. Then add dash of white peppers. (I prefer black peppers)

8. Serves hot. Enjoy!
