Recipe Tips
- Leftover rice is best for this recipe. If you don’t have day-old rice, you can also use freshly cooked rice. Just make sure to cool it down before using it for this recipe.
- Don’t pour the sauce directly on the rice. Instead, pour it around to ensure every ingredient will be coated with the sauce.
- Add bell peppers, mushrooms, or even baby corn for more variety and color.
- Prawns can become rubbery if overcooked. Sear them just until they turn pink and opaque to keep them tender and juicy.
