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.
Ingredients
- 1 cup precooked white rice cold
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- 1 Tbs minced garlic
- 1 tsp ginger ground
- 1 carrot cut into matchsticks
- 1 zucchini cut into matchsticks or "spiralized"
- 1 handful snow peas
- 1 handful baby spinach
- 1 Tbs Soy Sauce
- 2 tsp honey
- 10 medium sized prawns
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a wok or large saute pan
- Add garlic and ginger
- Saute garlic for 1 minute
- Add carrots, zucchini, and shrimp
- Saute 2-3 minutes, you want the shrimp to start turning pink, but not be done cooking, and vegetables are still crispy
- Add your rice, honey, soy sauce, stir it up
- Add your spinach, sugar snap peas, and saute for about a minute until the spinach starts to wilt. Then remove from heat.
- Serve immediately

The key is COLD rice, like you said! I’ve had so many people ask me how to get perfect fried and rice and that is the trick!

I have never heard of green fried rice before this not only looks tasty but healthy too.
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!
Danielle Stewart says
Okay that looks amazing and makes me want to make this. I really love anything with shrimp.
Jacqueline says
Yummy! I make something similar without shrimp. Greens and fried rice are a staple in my diet. Great photos too! 🙂
