  • Total Time: 17 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons vegetable oil for stir-frying to add a light, flavorful base

2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped for a fragrant foundation for the dish

Half a diced onion for sweetness and depth to the overall flavor

150 grams (5 oz) of small prawns or shrimp as the protein

3 green onions, cut into 4 cm (1.5-inch) pieces for fresh, mild sharpness

2 lightly beaten eggs for protein and a fluffy texture when scrambled

3 cups of cold, preferably overnight refrigerated cooked jasmine rice to ensure the grains separate easily and prevent stickiness for the best texture

1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 1/2 tablespoons oyster sauce

2 tablespoons fish sauce

1 teaspoon sugar

1 1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce

1 1/2 tablespoons seasoning sauce commonly used in Thai cuisine

1-First, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until it’s shimmering and ready for stir-frying.

2-Next, add the 2 large finely chopped garlic cloves and half a diced onion, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until they become fragrant.

3-Then, incorporate the 150 grams of small prawns or shrimp and the white parts of the 3 green onions, stirring for 1 minute until the protein starts to cook.

4-Push everything to one side of the wok, pour in the 2 lightly beaten eggs on the other side, and scramble for about 20 seconds until just set.

5-Add the 3 cups of cold jasmine rice and your chosen sauce, stir-frying for 2 minutes until the rice is evenly coated, and mix in the green parts of the green onions halfway through for added freshness.

6-Finally, serve immediately, optionally garnished with fresh coriander and accompanied by tomato wedges and cucumber slices for a complete meal.
