Fry the prawns

  • Add the ginger & garlic paste, lemongrass puree and the remaining chilli paste. Cook for 1 min more

Make the egg fried rice

  • Stir the rice and 50ml water (25ml for 1 person) into the veg pan, breaking the rice up with a spoon. Add the tamari and honey and mix to combine
  • Push the fried rice to one side of the pan, then crack in the egg. Break up the yolks with a wooden spoon and cook for 1-2 mins, to scramble, then stir into the rice
  • Season with salt and pepper

Plate up

  • Share the egg fried rice between bowls, topped with the prawns. Garnish with the remaining lime, cut into wedges
