Cooking Instructions:

  1. Begin by preparing your rice. In a large pot, bring water to boil, add the rice and cook it until it’s almost done (a bit al dente). Drain the water and set the rice aside.
  2. Heat up a wok or large frying pan with the vegetable oil. Once hot, toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for a minute.
  3. Add in your chicken pieces. Cook them until they turn golden-brown.
  4. Toss in the prawns. Fry until they’re pink and cooked through.
  5. Push the chicken and prawn mix to one side of the wok. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side. Scramble them lightly.
  6. Mix everything together in the wok. Add your almost-cooked rice.
  7. Pour the soy sauce over the Chicken and prawn fried rice mix. Stir well to ensure everything’s well-coated.
  8. Add your mixed veggies and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes.
  9. Finish off with a sprinkle of chopped spring onions and a dash of sesame oil for added flavor.
  10. Season your Chicken and prawn fried rice with salt and pepper as desired.

Pro Tips:

  1. Always use day-old rice. Fresh rice can make your Chicken and prawn fried rice a bit mushy.
  2. Don’t overcook the prawns. They cook quickly and overdoing them can make them rubbery.
  3. Adjust the soy sauce according to your taste. If you’re sodium-conscious, opt for the low-sodium variant.
  4. For an extra kick, you can add some red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve your Chicken and prawn fried rice hot, right out of the wok. A side of chili sauce or a tangy Asian salad complements it beautifully.
  • If you’re keen on pairing, a light, Asian-inspired soup can be a wonderful appetizer before the main Chicken and prawn fried rice course.
  • For drinks, green tea or a fresh lemonade can enhance the dining experience.
