Ready in less than 20 minutes, my prawn fried rice is the perfect meal to make when you are short on time!
It's great to have a couple of meals up your sleeve that are super fast to make. This recipe for Prawn Fried Rice is ready in less than 20 minutes and tastes amazing.
While I usually make my own rice from scratch, it's great to have a couple of these pre-cooked rice packets in the pantry for a quick meal. Frozen vegetables and prawns are also good staples for easy meals.
How to make prawn fried rice:
Heat oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add rice and stir fry for a few minutes. Push mixture out to the edges to make a space in the centre. Pour in the eggs and let them cook like a mini omelette. Fold egg over and use the end of the spatula to cut into pieces.
Add the mixed veggies and stir. Stir together with soy sauce and oyster sauce. Add the prawns and sweet chilli sauce and stir fry until prawns are cooked through.
Scatter over spring onion and cashew nuts. Once everything is piping hot and combined, serve with herbs on top.

Common questions about prawn fried rice:
What veggies work well? I like to use frozen mixed veggies which are a combination of carrot, peas and corn. However, feel free to use whatever is in your fridge or garden!
Is this meal kid friendly? Yes! Our kids love this dinner. You can serve theirs without prawns if they don't like them.
