Prawn and Vegetable Fried Rice

12 June 2020 by Deborah Leave a Comment

Prawn and Vegetable Fried Rice, Prawn and Vegetable Fried Rice

This prawn and vegetable fried rice dish was inspired from Ching-He Huang’s Chinese Food Made Easy recipe book and in particular her recipe ‘Grandmother’s Chicken Fried Rice’. It’s the flavours of the Chinese 5 spice powder, soy and sesame oil that make it a very moreish dish!

The recipe book accompanies a BBC TV series that was broadcast in 2008 and I think we’ve had this book since it was published in the same year. We’ve made quite a few recipes from the book, but none more than variations of this dish. It’s a great mid-week meal that’s quick and easy to cook once you’ve done the prep.   I definitely won’t be able to count on my 2 hands how often it’s been made over the years!

This particular recipe was made with a pack of raw king prawns that we had in the freezer, however, more often than not, we’ve made it with diced chicken breast or thigh meat or strips of pork loin steaks or fillet. We’ve had it purely as a vegetable dish…maybe add a can of drained beansprouts, or a big handful of fresh beansprouts if your supermarket has them to bulk it up.   Or make the vegetable fried rice and serve with pan-fried fillets of salmon – the choice really is yours!

Tips

  • If you don’t have leftover cold cooked rice from the night before, don’t worry, just remember to cook this in advance of prepping the vegetables and whichever protein you’re having and rinse it under plenty of cold water, then set it aside.
  • Our preference is white basmati rice, however, feel free to use jasmine rice or brown rice.
  • Make sure your wok starts to smoke slightly before you put the oil in, then you’ll know that the ingredients won’t stick.
  • You can use any vegetables that you wish, the ingredient list below is purely a suggestion…it’s definitely a dish for making if you want to clear out the veggies in your fridge and to get 5 of your 5 a day!!
