Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing all your ingredients. Make sure the prawns are peeled and deveined. Dice the carrot, mince the garlic, and slice the spring onions.
Step 2
In a large non-stick pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the beaten eggs and scramble them until they are just set. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil and increase the heat to high. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the prawns to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the prawns from the pan and set aside.
Step 6
Add the diced carrot and green peas to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Step 7
Add the cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until the rice is heated through.
Step 8
Return the cooked eggs and prawns to the pan. Drizzle the soy sauce over the mixture and add the salt and white pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.
Step 9
Add the sliced spring onions and continue to stir-fry for another minute.
Step 10
Finish with a drizzle of light sesame oil for extra flavor. Stir well, then remove from heat.
Step 11
Serve the prawn fried rice hot, garnished with additional spring onions if desired.
