Prawn fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that consists of cooked rice stir-fried with prawns, vegetables, eggs, and a blend of spices and sauces.

To make prawn fried rice, start by cooking long-grain rice until it is tender and fluffy. Then, heat some oil in a wok or large skillet and stir-fry chopped onions, garlic, and ginger until they are fragrant. Add chopped vegetables such as carrots, peas, and bell peppers, along with cooked and peeled prawns, and continue to stir-fry until the vegetables are cooked through.

Next, push the vegetables and prawns to the sides of the wok and pour beaten eggs into the center. Scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked and then mix them in with the vegetables and prawns. Add the cooked rice to the wok, along with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and other seasonings to taste. Stir-fry everything together until the rice is heated through and coated in the sauce.

Prawn fried rice can be served as a main dish or as a side dish to other Chinese-inspired dishes. It is a flavorful and satisfying option for those who enjoy seafood and is a great way to use up leftover rice and vegetables.
