Ingredients for Sri Lankan Seafood Fried Rice 🍚🦐

  • 2 cups of cooked rice (preferably cold, day-old rice works best) 🍚
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 🧴
  • 1 onion, finely chopped 🧅
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
  • 1/2 cup mixed seafood (shrimp 🦐, fish pieces, squid 🦑, or your choice)
  • 1/4 cup peas 🟢 (optional)
  • 1/4 cup carrots, finely chopped 🥕
  • 1/4 cup green beans, chopped (optional)
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten 🍳
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce 🍜
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder 🌶️
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (optional for extra heat 🌶️)
  • Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
  • Fresh spring onions 🌱 for garnish
  • A few sprigs of cilantro for garnish (optional) 🌿

Instructions 📋

  1. Prepare the Rice: If using fresh rice, let it cool completely. Cold rice is best for fried rice as it helps keep the grains separate. 🍚

  2. Cook the Seafood: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium heat. Add the mixed seafood and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until cooked through. Set aside. 🦐🦑

  3. Cook the Vegetables: In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Add the chopped onions 🧅 and garlic 🧄. Sauté until they become golden and fragrant. Then, add the chopped carrots 🥕, peas 🟢, and green beans (if using). Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  4. Scramble the Eggs: Push the vegetables to one side of the pan, and pour the beaten eggs 🍳 into the other side. Scramble them until fully cooked, then mix everything together.

  5. Add the Rice: Add the cold cooked rice 🍚 to the pan. Break up any clumps and stir everything together until well mixed.

  6. Season the Fried Rice: Add the soy sauce 🍜, curry powder 🌶️, chili powder 🌶️ (if using), salt 🧂, and pepper. Stir well to ensure the rice is evenly coated with the spices and sauce.

  7. Combine Seafood and Garnish: Add the cooked seafood 🦐 and mix gently to combine. Garnish with fresh spring onions 🌱 and cilantro 🌿.

  8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot as a delicious, flavorful meal! 🍽️
