What's your favorite takeout recipe… maybe I'll make that next?! . 🙂 xo – Lisa
I’ve been making this on repeat and it’s a winner in my house for sure!
Could you not just use sesame oil? Is there a reason you used avocado oil? I love both, was just curious.
Its interesting, when i was growing up in the UK my family only had ground white pepper, black pepper was new to me when my family moved to Australia when I was a tween! I love white & black pepper for different things.
Can you make this with brown rice?
what kind of rice are you using
Huge success! I ate one small serving of this and my husband devoured the rest by the next day.
Thanks for sharing,
gonna try this tomorrow
Wow this looks so good! Just love it and I cannot wait to cook one this weekend. Such a very well prepared and nicely presented video it is. Cheers and thanks 😍
This will be nice to know now to cook. Hi, Lisa!🥰🙏🏾💕🤗💕
please do a shrimp lo mein next!
Chinese homemade version
Just made this, and It was so yummy. I prefer this version over the restaurants that i go to because they always put way too much oil and sauce. This is light, and so much healthier. You have become my go to for all recipes as they always come out great, thanks to perfect measurements and explanation in all your videos. Looking forward to purchasing your cookbook. Love your channel!:)) your a delight !
What frying pan did you use when making the shrimp fried rice? Thank you 🙏🏻
If a date can't keep.up with me in the garlic department, that's a deal breaker!
Yummy!… making it tonight,,,can’t wait!!!!
Was delicious!! Thank u!!!
You should try adding a little fish sauce. It really elevates it to a whole new level! 🙂
What other veggies can you use instead of peas and carrots?
This dish is more than amazing. Thank you xxx
Thanks ❤What kind of rice to use plz?
Asian here and I can be very critical when it comes to Asian food (like Uncle Roger 😆). I think the ingredients you used are great and accurate enough, but the way you cooked makes me want to say “Haiya!!!”😂
Fried rice is supposed to be cooked with super fast motion and high heat, especially when you pour liquid ingredients like soy sauce or fish sauce to get caramelized effect.
Overall, I would score this cooking 6.5/10. Good job though!
2:50 – Hot tip if you make this and the prawn flavour overtakes it: next time add some lemon juice to the prawns and then rinse them, then proceed with the seasoning step.
