Why I Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because my family eat the whole bowl with a huge smile on their dial! So much colour and flavour!
Ingredients
- FROZEN PRAWNS: You can cook with fresh, however, I like the fact that the frozen prawns are peeled!
- SUSHI RICE : Buy from your supermarket in the Asian section or from you local Asian Grocer. Important to have this particular rice
- GARLIC: Always!
- CHINESE 5 SPICE: Your new spice to always have in the pantry
- TAMARI: Gluten Free Soy Sauce available in supermarkets and health stores
- SESAME OIL: The perfect partner with tamari
- RICE WINE VINEGAR: Asian section of the supermarket
- VEGGIES: Whatever you have in the fridge – carrot, capsicum, celery
- TO SERVE: Chilli Sauce, Lemon and Peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- Let’s get cooking! Place a large pot of water on the cooktop and bring to boil. This part you will need to measure – 3 cups water to 2 cups rice. For my family of 5, I cook 4 cups of rice. Once the rice is added, bring to boil. Then place lid on top and simmer until rice is cooked. Approx 15 mins. Drain any additional liquid.
- Place rice in a tray and season with rice vinegar and salt. Thats it!
- Preheat a large frypan. Add garlic, chinese 5 spice and the chopped veggies. Cook for 5 minutes. Then add prawns, tamari and sesame oil. Pan fry until the prawns change colour.
- Place the prawn mixture on top of the Sushi Rice and sprinkle with nuts, a squeeze of lemon and sesame seeds if you prefer.
- Everyone can serve themselves with a bowl of goodness!
