Method

  1. Heat a large frying pan and dry-fry the spices until fragrant. Add the oil, garlic, spring onions and chillies, and continue cooking for 5-6 minutes until softened.
  2. Tip the prawns and stir until well coated in spices. Spoon in the rice and peas, then cover with a lid and cook for a further 5 minutes, until everything is cooked through.
  3. Move the rice mix to one side of the pan and tip in the eggs. Allow to cook slightly, then quickly stir through the rice mixture. Serve with extra chilli and spring onion.

Top tips for making Singapore egg fried rice


  • Using microwaveable rice is a great cheat for when you don't have loads of time to cook but still want to make a nutritious meal for your family.

  • If the kids are going to be eating this dish, then you might want to leave out the red and green chillies as it's milder without them, but just as tasty.

  • If you're not a fan of prawns, you can easily make this recipe with shredded chicken, or you can go veggie with lots of colourful peppers.
