Ready to whip up a nutritious dinner in less than 25 minutes? Turn simple ingredients into a quick and easy feast with our one pan Prawn Egg Fried Rice recipe.

Whether it’s a tasty side dish or as a main, egg fried rice is a staple Chinese stir fry dish. It combines light and fluffy rice with seasonings, meats, and vegetables to make it more flavourful.

To make it healthier for your heart, we’ve made a lower-fat and lower-salt version of the classic rice dish and opted for brown rice for added fibre.

Combining juicy prawns, reduced-salt soy, a chilli kick, and zingy spring onions to flavour our egg fried rice – it might be healthier, but it definitely doesn’t compromise on taste.
