Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 250 grams prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 4 slices bacon (chopped into small pieces)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
- 3 stalks green onions (sliced thinly)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the chopped bacon and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
Step 4
Push the prawns and bacon fat to one side of the skillet, and crack the eggs into the cleared area. Scramble the eggs until just set, then mix them into the prawns. Remove everything from the skillet and set it aside.
Step 5
Add the remaining vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the frozen peas and carrots to the garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes or until they are thawed and tender.
Step 7
Add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, breaking up any lumps and ensuring the rice is evenly heated.
Step 8
Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the rice in the sauces.
Step 9
Return the cooked bacon, prawns, and scrambled eggs to the skillet, mixing everything together evenly.
Step 10
Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 11
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
