3. Add the coconut milk and once boiling stir in the proteins. Simmer for a few minutes.

Chef S Tip

For this recipe we recommended using baby corn, asparagus and green beans but this is one of the many combinations that would go lovely in this fried rice. So feel free to use local and seasonal vegetables instead, mostly crunchy ones like carrot, peppers.. that will give some bite to this dish. You can also make this dish plant- based by using soya sauce instead of the fish sauce and tofu instead of prawns.
