Prawn egg fried rice

What you need

• ·180g cooked king prawns
• ·100g basmati rice
• ·2 free range eggss
• ·100g frozen peas
• ·80g sweetcorn
• ·20g soy sauce
• ·8g garlic
• ·12g olive oil

Method

1. 1Use cold, day-old rice if you have it. Fresh rice steams and goes to paste — this is the whole secret of fried rice.
2. 2Screaming hot pan, oil, garlic for 20 seconds only.
3. 3Rice in and spread it out. Leave it 90 seconds so the bottom crisps before you toss it.
4. 4Push aside, scramble the eggs in the space, then fold them through.
5. 5Prawns, peas and sweetcorn in for the last 2 minutes — the prawns are already cooked and just need heating.
6. 6Soy sauce around the edge of the pan, not the middle, so it sizzles rather than soaks.

Cook extra rice at dinner specifically to make this tomorrow.
