SKINT AND FABULOUS RECIPE- LEFTOVER WEDNESDAY PRAWN FRIED RICE

This recipe is especially good, if you have leftovers or are low in stock of food and you are sooo hungry! I always have some rice in the fridge left over and wonder what I could create that is easy, yet healthy and enjoyable?

Then I thought- I have some prawns in the freezer too, why don't I make some fried rice!

It is very cheap to make, yet plentiful!

Ingredients:

1 pack frozen prawns

3 mugfuls brown rice

1 tbsp salt

2 eggs

1 tbsp soy sauce

1. Get 3 mugfuls of rice and wash out the starch before cooking for 20 mins. 
2. Leave to cool down- this will mean it would cook a lot better. If you have some rice in the fridge, you are already halfway there!
3. Heat the wok/large frying pan with a little drizzle of oil and fry up the prawns. If you find that there is water left after cooking the prawns, drain them before adding the rice.
4. Gradually add the rice, and add the eggs into the mix, and stir in. Add salt and soy sauce for flavour.

SKINT AND FABULOUS RECIPE- CHILLI CON CARNE WITH RICE AND SALAD

Hi guys-

I made this delicious and oh-so-purse friendly recipe for you guys to try at home- you don't need much and you would fill yourself up so quickly- and its something you can easily whip together for a hearty lunch the next day too!

Ingredients: to serve 2-3 people

500g mince beef (pork is also a nice and even cheaper alternative)
1 can chilli kidney beans
1 sachet Colmans Chilli con Carne pack
handful of crispy salad
1 can chopped tomatoes
2-3 mugfuls of brown/white rice, with equal parts water
1 stock cube
1 chilli

tip: having a rice cooker is handy if, like me, you're a lazy cook and don't like to faff about when you want to make other things and, you want to make other parts of dishes at the same time without worrying about burning the rice!

1. wash 2-3 mugfuls of rice in cold water to get rid of all the starch, and quite frankly- taste a lot better! put in equal amounts of water to boil/put in the cooker and cook. 
2. whilst cooking the rice, cook the mince on a medium heat till brown and add a stock cube. add the sachet for the chilli con carne into the mixture and add a bit of water.
3. add a can of chopped tomatoes and kidney beans and stir. Leave to simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. serve with salad, and sour cream (if you like!)
