Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. If using a large skillet instead of a wok, add 1 extra tbsp oil to help prevent sticking.

Add the garlic and onion. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant and the onion begins to soften.

Add the prawns or shrimp and the white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry for about 1 minute, until the shrimp are just starting to turn pink.

Push the shrimp and aromatics to one side of the wok. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble quickly for about 20 seconds, then fold them through the mixture.

Add the cooked jasmine rice and your chosen sauce option. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, breaking up any clumps, until the rice is evenly coated and heated through. Add the green parts of the green onions halfway through cooking.
