This dish is often made with left over rice. If you don’t have any, cook the rice in the morning and let it cool and dry out before using. Wash the rice and put it in a small pan with a close fitting lid with the water and ½ tsp salt. Bring to the boil and then simmer on the lowest possible heat until the rice absorbs all the water. Leave to cool. Fry the garlic in hot oil in a wok until it turns golden. Add the rice and mix in well. Make a space in the middle of the wok and break in the eggs. Stir and mix with the rice until well combined. Add a good splash of soy sauce, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Mix thoroughly. Add the prawns mix these in and cook until pink, unless they are ready cooked, in which case just heat. Add the spring onions and mix. Serve hot on hot plates. The correct way to serve is to fill a round bowl with the mixture and upend it on the plate.
