Thai Fried Rice with Prawns and Peas

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the Oil and Aromatics

   3 min

   In a wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add in the sliced red onion, sliced garlic, and sliced red chilli. Sauté these ingredients for about 2-3 minutes, or until the onions become translucent and start to turn golden, releasing their fragrant aromas.

2. 2

   Add Prawns and Rice

   15 min

   Introduce 250 grams of raw king prawns to the wok and sauté for approximately 1 minute, or until they turn pink and opaque. Next, add 140 grams of brown rice and 75 grams of frozen peas to the mix. Toss everything together, ensuring the rice and peas are evenly heated through, which should take another 2-3 minutes.

3. 3

   Season the Rice

   3 min

   Pour in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, thoroughly mixing them into the rice and prawn mixture. This will enhance the flavor profile; fold in a bunch of chopped coriander at the end, allowing it to wilt slightly as you keep the rice warm on low heat while you prepare the eggs.

4. 4

   Fry the Eggs

   15 min

   In a separate frying pan, heat a little more oil over medium heat. Carefully crack 4 large eggs into the pan, frying them until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, or cook to your preferred doneness. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper as they cook to enhance the flavor.

5. 5

   Plate and Serve

   2 min

   Serve the fragrant fried rice in bowls, ensuring each portion is generously topped with a fried egg. For an extra layer of flavor, sprinkle more chopped coriander on top and offer hot sauce on the side for those who enjoy some heat.
