This fresh, light dish comes together in just 15 minutes. The light soy sauce and honey give it a rich Asian flavor, and the mixture of vegetables stay nice and crisp, to be the perfect compliment to the prawns.
I love Asian inspired food. When I was growing up my family used to eat at a restaurant called Wok Right Inn. We loved it, and became fast friends with the owners. They invited us back into the kitchen to show us the way they prepared our favorite dishes. I was only 9 or 10 but I still remember how fast everything cooked up.
I loved all the fresh veggies that were thrown into the wok, with their special sauce, and within a few minutes you get a masterpiece of color and flavor.

This is so simple (Eazy Peazy is my name for a reason!), but will have you coming back for more!
Let’s take a minute to talk about the Spiralizer! I love mine. I just bought it off Amazon, and it took me a few tries to get it down. It basically takes your vegetables (Let’s go with zucchini because it is my favorite thing to spiralize) and turns it into ribbons, or noodles. The one I bought came with 3 different blades, so you can get different options. But I love it. I was able to quickly cut my zucchini. It was the perfect size to get cooked but still retain some crispiness! Yum. Luckily, if you don’t have a spiralizer, you can achieve a similar thing by chopping into matchsticks, or using a julienne slicer or mandolin.

I’m a fan of asian food too, although rarely have it as my OH isn’t. I’m presuming snow peas are what we call sugar snap peas? I’ve never heard them called that before.

This is just so nice looking. I am starving to eat the green fried rice with prawns right now. I imagine that it tastes more delicious than yang chow fried rice!

Okay that looks amazing and makes me want to make this. I really love anything with shrimp.
Jessica P says
I love the sound of the green fried rice! I do not eat seafood, so I’d have to swap out the prawns with chicken, and then it would be the perfect dish. I always worry that I can’t cook some international dishes very well, but it would be worth a try!
