Method

  1. To make the cauliflower 'rice', pulse the florets a few times in a food processor or grate coarsely.
  2. Heat the oil in a wok or sauté pan. Stir-fry half the sliced spring onions and chilli with the ginger and garlic paste for 1 min.
  3. Add the rest of the vegetables from the stir-fry pack, and the carrots and peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 mins, until just tender. Add the prawns and heat through for 2 min. Stir in the cauliflower rice and stir-fry for 1 min.
  4. Whisk together the eggs and 1 tsp sesame oil, then season. Make 2 spaces in the veg and pour in the egg. Let it set, then mix through with a flat spatula.
  5. Toss the cooked veg and prawnswith 2 tbsp soy sauce. Serve in bowls, drizzled with the remaining sesame oil. Top with the reserved spring onions and the chilli sauce, sesame seeds and extra soy sauce, if using.
  • Tip: Enhance the flavour of your fried rice with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
