Recipe byThe ZestyPlate Kitchen
Fragrant fried rice with prawns, chilli and peas in soy and fish sauce, topped with a fried egg. A speedy one-wok meal.
Leftover rice finds its best use here, turned into a fast and filling dinner in the time it takes to fry an egg. Prawns, sweet peas and a hit of garlic, onion and chilli cook in minutes, then a crisp-edged fried egg goes on top of each bowl. It is savoury, quick and happy to take whatever extra veg you want to throw at it.

Preparation
- Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a wok, add the onion, garlic and chilli, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden. Add the prawns and cook for 1 minute. Tip in the rice and peas and keep tossing until piping hot. Pour in the soy and fish sauce, then stir through the chopped coriander. Keep it warm while you fry the eggs.
- Heat the rest of the oil in a frying pan and fry the eggs, seasoning them as they cook. Divide the fried rice between 4 bowls and sit a fried egg on each. Scatter with coriander and serve, with chilli sauce if you like.
Tips from the ZestyPlate Kitchen
- Cold, leftover rice fries up far better than fresh; the grains stay separate instead of clumping.
- Get the wok properly hot so the rice crisps rather than stews in its own steam.
- Have everything chopped and to hand before you start, because it moves quickly once the wok is hot.
- A fried egg on each bowl is the classic finish, so don't skip it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Day-old rice has dried out, so it fries up loose and a touch crisp. Freshly cooked rice still holds too much moisture and tends to go mushy in the wok.
Yes, but add them near the end and just heat them through. Cook them any longer and they turn rubbery.
Leave out the prawns, use soy sauce instead of fish sauce, and bump up the veg or add some tofu.
