Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked jasmine rice
• 200 grams vegan prawns
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 medium, diced carrot
• 1 cup green peas
• 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 stalks, chopped spring onions
• 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 medium, cut into wedges lime

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing all your ingredients: dice the onion, carrot, and red bell pepper, mince the garlic, and chop the spring onions. Set the cooked jasmine rice aside to cool if not already done.

Step 2

In a large non-stick pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the vegan prawns and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are lightly golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil to the same pan. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté for about 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the diced carrot, green peas, and red bell pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the cooled jasmine rice. Pour the soy sauce over the rice and stir everything together.

Step 6

Return the cooked vegan prawns to the pan. Add the sriracha sauce and ground black pepper. Toss everything together to combine and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Garnish the fried rice with chopped spring onions and squeeze lime wedges over each serving for a fresh kick.

Step 8

Serve hot and enjoy your Vegan Prawn Fried Rice!
