• Place the oil into a large frying pan or wok and heat for 1 minute over a medium high burner. Add the rice and stir fry for 3 minutes until properly hot.
• Crack 3 eggs into a jug and mix together using a whisk or a fork. Make a well in the centre of your rice and add the beaten eggs. Leave like this for 30 seconds and then stir into the rice.
• Add the defrosted prawns and the frozen peas plus the soy sauce and sesame oil and stir everything together. Cook for 5 more minutes until the prawns are pink and slightly curled. They should be fully cooked and piping hot.

EGG FRIED RICE WITH PRAWNS & PEAS

Steps:

• Put the rice in a saucepan with 600ml water. Bring to boil, cover, then simmer for 10 mins or until almost all the water has gone. Leave off the heat, covered, for 5 mins more.
• Heat the oil in wok or large frying pan. Add the garlic and chilli, then cook for 10 secs - making sure not to let it burn. Throw in the cooked rice, stir fry for 1 min, then push to the side of the pan. Pour the eggs into the empty side of the pan, then scramble them, stirring. Once just set, stir the peas and spring onions into the rice and egg, then cook for 2 mins until the peas are tender. Add the prawns and soy sauce, heat through, then serve with extra soy sauce on the side, if you like.

CHINESE FRIED RICE WITH SHRIMP AND PEAS

Steps:

• Beat one of the eggs in a small bowl and salt lightly. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium-high heat in a small nonstick frying pan, and add the beaten egg. Swirl in the pan until the egg forms an even coat, like a thin pancake. When the egg is cooked through, roll up and slide onto a plate. Cut in thin strips (you can use a scissors or a knife). Set aside.
• Heat a wok or large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water evaporates upon contact. Add the remaining oil and swirl around the pan, then add the shrimp and cook about one minute, stirring and tossing with a spatula or wok scoop until just about cooked through and pink. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the sherry, and stir everything together. When the sizzling stops, pour in the remaining beaten egg. Stir-fry until scrambled, and add the rice. Cook the rice - scooping it up, then pressing it into the pan and scooping it up again - for about two minutes. Stir in white and lighter green parts of the scallions, the peas and the soy sauce. Stir together for about half a minute, and transfer to a warm serving platter. Sprinkle the egg strips, scallion greens and cilantro over the top. Serve hot.
