Ingredients

  1. 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  2. 1 small onion, finely chopped
  3. 2 garlic cloves, minced
  4. 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  5. 300 g cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
  6. 200 g Vannamei prawns, peeled and deveined
  7. 1/2 cup frozen peas
  8. 2 tbsp soy sauce
  9. 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  10. 1 tsp sesame oil
  11. 2 spring onions, finely sliced
  12. Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Push the onion and garlic to one side of the pan. Add the beaten eggs to the other side and scramble until fully cooked, then combine with the onions and garlic.
  3. Stir in the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil, mixing everything together to coat the rice evenly.
  4. Add the cooked Vannamei prawns and peas to the rice, stirring to incorporate. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
  5. Season with black pepper and chili flakes (if using). Garnish with freshly sliced green onions and serve with lime wedges on the side.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Vannamei Prawn Fried Rice!

Chef's Tip

Great prawn fried rice is all about high heat, quick cooking, and balancing texture with savoury flavour. Using day-old rice helps keep the grains separate and lightly crisp rather than soft or sticky, while the prawns should be added briefly so they stay juicy and tender. Soy, oyster sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and spring onion create classic wok-style flavour that complements the natural sweetness of the Vannamei prawns perfectly.
