Mmm delish, I like how the recipe incorporates two types of meat. I usually use prawns and ham in my rice dishes. Delish!!

My rice always ends up being mushy. I think I’ll try nicalishous’ tip, and try letting it be slightly crunchy before frying.

If you use white rice you should cook it for 12mins so its still slightly crunchy before you fry it works even better if you leave the rice in the fridge over night

This is something I’ve tried making HEAPS before and can never get it tasting right! Hopefully this recipe is different to the rest and actually tastes yummy! It sure looks yummy.
