FRIED RICE

Bacon-Prawn Fried Rice: The Dinner That Loves You Back

Let’s be real: some nights you want gourmet, and some nights you want to use what’s in the freezer and call it a culinary masterpiece. This recipe is the second one — but with bacon and prawns, so it still slaps.

🛒 Ingredients:

• 1 x 250g packet of streaky bacon (aka crispy happiness)

• 1 brown onion (because flavour starts here)

• 3 eggs (bonus points if you don’t drop one)

• 1 cup of frozen mixed veggies (the classic peas/corn/carrot trifecta) or fresh stir fry veggies (either is fine)

• 1–2 cups of frozen prawns (thawed if you’re fancy, thrown in frozen if you’re living on the edge)

• 1 family-size pack of microwave rice (look at you, choosing efficiency!)

• Soy sauce (to taste, or until your ancestors whisper, “Enough.”)

• Peanut oil or sesame oil (chef’s choice — both make you look like you know what you’re doing)

🔥 Method to the Madness:

1. Scramble those eggs

Whisk up the eggs like you’re on a cooking show with a time limit. Heat up a large frypan or wok, scramble them until they’re just cooked, then pop them in a bowl. Don’t worry, they’ll make a comeback.

2. Bacon + Onion = Best Friends

Dice the bacon like you’re angry at it. Do the same to the onion. Chuck them into the hot pan and cook until they’re golden, sizzling, and making your motorhome smell like a dream.

3. Veggie & Prawn Party

Toss in your cup of frozen veggies and your prawns (thawed or not, no judgement). Add a splash of peanut or sesame oil and stir-fry like you mean it. Cook until the prawns are pink and the veggies aren’t ice cubes anymore.

4. Rice Enters the Chat

Zap your microwave rice according to packet instructions, or just throw it straight in the pan if you’re brave (or impatient). Break it up with your spatula like you’re fluffing a rice pillow.

5. Eggs Return Heroically

Return the eggs to the pan like a triumphant plot twist. Stir everything together like the culinary DJ you are.

6. Soy Sauce Magic

Splash in soy sauce like you’re seasoning with your heart. Taste test often — it’s called quality control.

🧡 Serve it hot, eat it straight from the pan (we won’t tell), or portion it for leftovers you’ll actually look forward to.
