1 tbs fish sauce
1/4 cup cashews

1 cup brown rice cooked cooled
2 tsp sesame seeds

Method

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium heat. Crack in the eggs and scramble. Transfer the cooked eggs out onto a plate.
Step 2

Wipe the pan clean, return to medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon oil. Add the prawns and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side or until they’ve turned opaque and light pink. Transfer to the plate.
Step 3

Return the pan to the heat and add the pineapple. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the pineapple begins to caramelise a little. Reduce heat to medium, add carrot, spring onion, tamari and fish sauce, stir quickly.
Step 4

Add quinoa and rice and stir-fry until they are mixed in well and warmed through, about 3 minutes.
Step 5

Return the eggs and prawns to the mix and sprinkle the lot with sesame seeds, fresh coriander, cashews and chilli to serve.

Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

Use leftover rice that has been refrigerated, or for a speedy version look for pre-cooked quinoa and rice pouches. Freshly cooked, hot rice will make a too-sticky, glue-like texture in your fried rice.
