Cooking Instructions
- Boil a kettle. Rinse the rice and place in a saucepan with 600ml salted boiling water. Simmer for 20-25 mins. Add the peas for the final 5 mins of cooking.
- Finely chop the red onion and garlic. Peel and thinly slice the carrot into half-moons on an angle. Slice the spring onion on an angle. Finely chop the chilli (remove the seeds for less heat). Roughly chop the coriander. Drain the sweetcorn.
- When the rice is nearly ready, heat a large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on a medium-high heat. Add the red onion, garlic, chilli, carrot, and just half the coriander. Cook for 5 mins, then add the egg and cook for two mins.
- Meanwhile, drain the rice and peas, then add to the pan with the sweetcorn, tamari and sesame oil. Cook for 5 mins, then add the prawns and cook for a further 2-3 mins to heat through.
- Serve the special fried rice garnished with the spring onions and remaining coriander.
