Prawn Comination Rice

This is something I knocked up the other night when I was home alone, bored and feeling lazy. Pro tip for the lazy: keep a whole lot of random junk in your fridge; if you're inventive it's amazing what you can knock together.

By chance we had leftover prawns in the freezer (it's not as dodgy as it sounds). We also had leftover rice from a previous dinner as well as some leftover corn and the eternal bag of frozen peas. Defrost all of these things, and you're halfway there.


Next, scramble an egg. I've found by experimentation that one egg per person is a good amount for combination rice. You can leave it to cool, it doesn't matter if it gets cold because:


Next, heat up your wok. I used a dash of peanut oil, soy sauce and mirin to prime it, then threw in all the ingredients. I then added a dash more soy sauce, some fish sauce and some thick teriyaki sauce I found lurking in the back of the fridge. Stir constantly throughout. Finally, I sprinkled some chilli flakes on, but that's more of a personal choice than a recommendation.


And then you're done! Easy! The hardest part is cleaning the @#$%! egg out of the pan you scrambled it in.


Enjoyed in combination with:

Badlands Brewery London Porter

I found this gem in my local bottle shop. It's from a microbrewery in Orange, limited run. Absolutely delicious (although, not authentically Asian, but still worked surprisingly well with the meal).

P.S. sorry about the crappy picture quality. I blame the camera.
