4. Remove from the heat and leave it to cool for 5 to 10 minutes.

6. Heat the wok pan and add the Sunflower Oil. Then add the King Prawns into the pan and allow them to cook. (You can also add a small amount of butter to add more flavour as an option.)

7. Add 100g Basmati Rice in the wok pan and stir-fry the rice. Then add the egg and soy sauce and stir-fry it altogether until cooked.

8. Finally, add a small amount of garden peas to the pan and stir-fry them altogether. Place your king prawn fried rice with green peas on a plate and enjoy.
