Prawn Fried Rice

Looking for a low-fat and protein-rich meal? Prawn Fried Rice is the perfect dish for you! Not only is it packed with nutritious veggies, but it's also an easy-to-make Indo-Chinese dish. Try making it at home and share your thoughts with me in the comments below!

To make the perfect prawn fried rice, I recommend following these tips. First and foremost, the key to great fried rice is the rice itself. Cook it until it's fluffy and dense, and use a fork to fluff it up. If you have leftover rice, even better! Secondly, marinate the prawns and sauté them separately before adding them to the rice. This will make the fried rice more flavorful and delicious.
