Prawn Fried Rice

Furthermore, I would like to share some of my suggestions for making perfect prawn fried rice. Firstly, the key to the perfect fried rice is the rice, so you have to cook it till it is dense and fluffy. You can also use the fork while fluffing the rice. And if you use the leftover rice, then your fried rice will be even better. First, marinate the prawns and saute them separately and then add that to rice, this way the fried rice will be more flavorful.
