PINEAPPLE & PRAWN FRIED RICE I always have rice in the fridge and this recipe is a really easy way of using it up, it’s really quick and customisable too so you need to try! Everyone loves fried rice and its so easy to make at home, the pineapple makes it a little special, not only does it look impressive but the texture and the sweetness work really well in this dish. I’ve seen this dish in so many restaurants but it literally takes less than 30 mins to recreate at home for the fraction of the price! Ingredients: Veg oil for frying 200g raw shelled prawns 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp white pepper 1 inch thumb of ginger 4 garlic cloves 3 large spring onions 100g frozen mixed veg 300g cooked rice 1.5 tbsp dark soy sauce (use less if not using dark) 1 tsp fish sauce (forgot in vid soz) 2 British Lion eggs @egg_recipes 1 pineapple Chives for garnish Recipe: Start by flash frying the prawns in oil. Season with salt and white pepper, as soon as they get a bit of colour on them, take them out the pan and put aside. In the same pan, add a splash of oil along with chopped garlic, ginger and spring onions. Fry together for a minute, then add the veggies. Stir fry the vegetables and they should release a bit of water, once that’s dried up, add the rice – I like to sprinkle the rice in by hand to get rid of any big clumps. Add soy sauce, fish sauce and mix everything together really well. Push the rice to one side of the pan and add a splash of oil and crack in two eggs. Scramble the eggs with your spatula while slowly incorporating the rice. Once the eggs have mixed in and cooked, take it off the heat and add in the cooked prawns. Slice your pineapple in half and cut in and around the edge of the pineapple stopping about half an inch from the peel, make sure not to cut all the way through! Make horizontal cuts through the rest of the pineapple to form cubes. Spoon out the cubes and scrape out any remaining flesh with a spoon. Add the pineapple to the rice while it’s still hot and give it a good mix. Finish with chilli flakes and chopped chives. #eggfriedrice #eggs #pineapplerice #recipes #reels
