1 tbsp oil (vegetable or sesame)

4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1–2 red chilies, thinly sliced (adjust to taste)

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp fish sauce (or more soy sauce)

1 tbsp lime juice

Optional: pinch of chili flakes for extra heat

For the Jasmine Rice:
1 cup jasmine rice

1¾ cups water

Pinch of salt

🍳 Instructions
1. Cook the Rice:

Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until clear.

In a saucepan, bring rice, water, and salt to a boil.

Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 12–15 minutes.

Let it steam off heat for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

2. Cook the Prawns:

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add garlic and chilies, sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.

Add prawns and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.

Stir in soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar. Toss to coat.

Let the sauce reduce slightly until it clings to the prawns.

3. Serve:

Spoon jasmine rice onto plates or bowls.

Top with garlic chili prawns and drizzle over any remaining sauce from the pan.

Garnish with green onions, cilantro, lime wedges, and sesame seeds if using.
