Clare’s Prawn Fried Rice

I am a big fan of Fried Rice and this is one of my favourites, it is simple, like seriously simple to create but packs a real flavor punch and so much better than opting for the take out version, if you are not much of a cook, you will be able to create this and if you are a whiz in the kitchen you may tweak to create a whole different flavor. If you are not a fan of Prawn’s then add chicken,beef etc and for a fab veggie option add tofu, broccoli and or mushrooms.
