· 2 eggs, slightly beaten
DIRECTIONS 1. Bring some water to the boil and cook the rice following the instructions on the packaging or use leftover rice. 2.

Fry for 2 min, then add the diced carrot, pepper, mushroom and broccoli and fry for 3-5 min, stirring regularly. 3. When the veggies are soft, it’s time to add the prawns, peas and sweetcorn. Fry for another few minutes. You can always add a splash of water if it looks dry. 4. Add the drained the rice, season with salt, pepper, and chilli and mix well together, then push everything to one side and add the other tbsp of sesame oil to the pan. 5. Pour the slightly beaten eggs onto the sesame oil and make scrambled eggs. When the eggs are cooked to your taste, mix everything together and serve hot.
Tip: You can use fresh chillies instead of the powder, but if you are not a fan of spicy food, feel free to leave it out altogether.

They are a nice addition of flavour and texture to this One-Pot Egg Fried Rice with King Prawns, however, the veggie version tastes great too, and you can always mix and match this recipe to what you have at home.
