Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Rinse your brown rice, add it to a pot with plenty of cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 20-25 min or until it's tender with a slight bite
Once cooked, drain, return it to the pot and keep covered until serving
Meanwhile, peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and finely chop (or grate) your ginger
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Deseed your pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and chop into bite-sized pieces
Trim, then chop half your spring onion[s] into batons, then trim and finely slice the remaining spring onion
Combine your cornflour with 50ml [75ml] [100ml] cold water in a bowl
Stir in your red chilli relish – this is your sweet chilli sauce
Wash, then rip the leaves off your spring greens, discard the tough stalks, then layer the leaves over each other, roll them up and slice into thin strips
Add the sliced spring greens to a large baking tray (or two!) and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt, 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar and a large drizzle of vegetable oil
Give everything a good mix up and put the tray[s] in the oven for 8-10 min or until crispy – this is your crispy 'seaweed'
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the sliced spring onion, half the chopped garlic and half the chopped ginger (save the rest for later!) and cook for 1 min or until fragrant
Once fragrant, add the cooled rice, soy sauce and toasted sesame oil and cook for 2-3 min or until all of the rice is coated – this is your fried rice
Transfer the fried rice to a plate and return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil
Once hot, add the chopped pepper and remaining chopped garlic and ginger and cook for 2-3 min until the pepper has started to soften
Drain, then add your king prawns, spring onion batons and sweet chilli sauce and cook for 4-5 min further or until the prawns have cooked through and the sauce is thick and sticky – these are your sweet chilli king prawns
Serve the sweet chilli king prawns over the fried rice with the crispy 'seaweed' to the side
Enjoy!
