Ingredients

• 400 grams Large prawns, peeled and deveined
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 Red chilli, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 4 cups Cooked jasmine rice, chilled
• 3 Eggs
• 3 Spring onions, finely sliced
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Lime, cut into wedges (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, ketchup, honey, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons of water to create the chilli sauce. Set aside.

Step 2

Pat the prawns dry with paper towels and toss them in the remaining 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to coat evenly.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the prawns and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are just cooked. Remove the prawns from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and chopped red chilli, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour the prepared chilli sauce into the pan and bring it to a gentle simmer. Return the prawns to the pan, toss in the sauce, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the prawns are fully coated and sizzling. Turn off the heat and set aside.

Step 6

To make the egg fried rice, beat the eggs in a small bowl with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Heat a wok or large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.

Step 7

Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and scramble lightly. Once fully cooked, push the eggs to one side of the pan.

Step 8

Add the chilled rice to the pan and stir-fry, combining with the eggs. Cook for 3-4 minutes, breaking up clumps of rice and ensuring it is heated through.

Step 9

Stir in the sliced spring onions and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Remove from heat.

Step 10

Serve the sizzling chilli prawns over a bed of egg fried rice. Garnish with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
