: Boil the Rice
Rice : Water | 50g : 100ml | 100g : 200ml | 150g : 300ml | 200g : 400ml | 250g : 500ml | 300g : 600ml |
Ideally make the rice a day in advance. Good fried needs day old rice, that's been dried slightly in the fridge.
Rinse the rice under running water and ideally soak it for 15 minutes before cooking. Put in the rice in the pot. Then add the water and a pinch of salt. Bring the rice to a boil and then cover it with a lid. Lower the heat to a simmer and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed and rice is cooked.

Add some more oil to the wok and start stir frying in the following order:
1. Prawn: give them a quick sear on both sides. Season them lightly with salt and pepper. Keep them aside.
2. Add a little more oil. Add and sauté onion and garlic for about 30 seconds, depending how hot your oil is.
3. Now add carrots and celery and give them a quick stir fry.
4. Add rice. Break down any lumps that have been formed. And separate as much of the grain as possible.
5. Add the soya and oyster Sauce, and a touch of seasoning if required.
6. Push the rice to one side of the pan or wok, add some more oil and crack in the egg. Scramble the egg as quickly as you can before mixing it into the rice.
