Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok on high heat. Add the prawns, cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. Remove from the wok and set aside. Heat another 2 tbsp of oil in a wok on high heat and crack the egg into it, fry until the egg is half cooked, break the yolk and cut into the white with your spatula.

3

Push the egg to one side of the wok to allow space for your rice, add 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the wok and once smoking hot, add the cooked and cooled rice to the wok and mix well, trying to separate rice so as to remove any clumps.

4

Once the rice is mixed, add the veg and stir fry until well mixed. Add the curry powder, turmeric,
pineapple, cashews and mix into the rice.

5

Return the prawns to the pan, continuing to stir- fry. Add a splash of light soy sauce and fish sauce

then season with white pepper and add a dash of sesame oil, taste and adjust.
