This is a brilliant recipe. You can use left over rice in it, it takes only a few minutes to cook, and tastes much better than you think it will.

If you have one, cook this in a Wok, its much easier than a frying pan.

INGREDIENTS

 


6 oz (180 g) Basmati Rice
1 inch (2.5 cm) Piece Fresh Root Ginger Finely Chopped
6 Spring Onions Finely Chopped
2 Cloves of Garlic Finely Chopped
2 Eggs
4 oz (100 g) Peeled Prawns
2 Teaspoons of Sesame Oil
2 Tablespoons of Groundnut Oil
1 Heaped Tablespoon Fresh Coriander Chopped
1/2 Teaspoon of Salt
1/4 Teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper

 

PREPARATION

 
Cook the long grain rice, if you are not using leftover.

Chop all the ingredients that need chopping. Once we start cooking, we need everything to hand. Keep the white part of the spring onions separate from the green part. Chop the coriander stalks as well as the leaves.

Beat the eggs together with the salt and the sesame oil.

Heat the groundnut oil in the Wok or frying pan, and fry the garlic, ginger and the white spring onion until they start to turn colour.

Add the cayenne pepper. Be careful here. We are looking for gentle heat to complement the ginger.

Now add the beaten egg mixture and stir fry it util it starts to 'scramble'

Add the cooked rice and the prawns and stir untill heated through.

And finally, add the green spring onion and chopped coriander, and serve.
