This recipe has been submitted for play in ZWT8 - Australia/New Zealand. The recipe was found at Wattie's - Food in a Minute website. Love Asian food but haven't tried making it yourself? This tasty fried rice dish with succulent prawns, Asian sauces and a chilli kick is a great place to start. Reheating cooked rice requires caution due to a bacterium that can cause food borne illness. When dealing with cooked rice you should refrigerate as soon as cooled and do not reheat more than once. Because this recipe uses cooked rice it should not be reheated again. Discard any leftovers.
