Method

  • To cook the jasmine rice, in a saucepan, add 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of cold water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered for 25 minutes. Remove from heat and stand, covered for 5 minutes. If you are not sure how, we have a helpful “How to Cook rice section” to make you a pro. If you would like to use a brown rice in this recipe, simply add an additional 1/2 a cup of water.

    Tip: For a quicker alternative, use our Jasmine steamed rice 450g pouch, ready in 2 1/2 minutes!

  • Toss the prawns in 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and the onions in a medium-large non-stick frypan over high heat and stir fry until the onions are slightly translucent but still hold some crunch. Add the prawn meat and stir fry until cooked through.

  • Add the tomato sauce and garlic chilli sauce, then taste and season with light soy or salt. Serve immediately with steamed rice, coriander and lime wedges if desired.
