Vegan Prawn Fried Rice

Stir-fried vegetables, rice and plant-based prawns, in a simple, tasty sauce. You can make this in roughly 20 minutes, so it would be great for a quick midweek meal. It also has a lovely mix of vegetables and delicious mock prawn pieces

Serves: Two Cook time: 18-20 minutes

You’ll need:

One teaspoon of vegetable oil
Two large spring onions, sliced. Cook the bottom two-thirds of the spring onion, then reserve the top third to use as a garnish
125g plant-based prawn, chopped. I bought mine online from Alternative Stores. You can also buy Happiee plant-based prawns from Tesco and ASDA
75g frozen edamame
50g frozen peas
250g cooked rice
Half a medium carrot, grated

For the sauce, you’ll need:

One and a half tablespoons of soy sauce
One teaspoon of toasted sesame oil
One and a half teaspoons of fish-free fish sauce
Half a teaspoon of Chinese five spice
Half a teaspoon of ground ginger
Half a teaspoon of rice vinegar
One teaspoon of miso paste
One-quarter of a teaspoon of garlic granules

Method:

Add the vegetable oil to a large frying pan over a medium high heat. Once it’s warmed up, add in the spring onion and cook for two or three minutes
Then add in the plant-based prawns, and fry for another five minutes, stirring every now and then
Next, add in the frozen edamame and give it two or three minutes to thaw in the pan
Now, add in the frozen peas and rice, and give everything a good mix to combine. Allow it to cook for another five minutes, stirring often
In a small dish, whisk the sauce ingredients together, and pour the sauce into the frying pan. Then add in the grated carrot, and give everything a really good mix to combine. You’ll want to make sure everything is evenly coated in the sauce
Allow it to cook for another two or three minutes, then it’s ready to serve. Garnish the fried rice with the reserved spring onion
