Instructions
- Start by cooking the rice. You can use Basmati or Kolum rice for this recipe. For best results use rice that is chilled, or a day old.
- Shell and devein the prawns and marinate them with 1/2 a teaspoon of salt and pepper. Set aside for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Cut the spring onions and the leeks and set aside. Also, dice the vegetables, ensuring they are the same size for even cooking, and finely chop the garlic.
- Heat a wok or a wide pan and add 1 tsp oil, crack 2 eggs in the pan. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and scramble them quickly, breaking them into small pieces. Once the eggs are done remove them from the wok and set aside.
- Into the same pan, add a little oil and the marinated prawns and fry for 3 to 4 minutes on high heat. Do not overcook prawns and once done remove them from the pan and set aside.
- Now heat, 2 tbsp of oil in the wok and add the chopped garlic, stir fry for 30 seconds. Next, add the onions and the chopped vegetables and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
- Add in the cooked rice, the sauces, and vinegar, and mix everything well with a spatula on high heat, until the rice turns slightly crispy.
- Finally, add the fried prawns and scrambled eggs and mix well to allow the flavours to meld together.
- Garnish the rice with onion leeks and some freshly crushed peppercorns. You could also drizzle a little sesame oil for a wonderful nutty flavour.
