1
Rinse the white rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice with 400ml of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until all water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.

While the rice cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the Jumbo Prawns Crispies in a single layer.

Pan-fry the prawns for 2-3 minutes per side, turning until they are beautifully golden brown and heated through, developing an irresistible crunch. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and granulated sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved. This creates a quick, balanced sweet and savoury glaze.
-
5
Fluff the cooked rice gently with a fork. Divide the warm, fluffy rice evenly between two deep serving bowls.
-
6
Artfully arrange the hot, crispy prawns over the bed of rice in each bowl, creating an appealing presentation.

Drizzle the prepared sweet-savoury soy sauce generously over the prawns and rice. Serve immediately, allowing the aromas to tantalize before the first bite.
Achieve maximum crispness by not overcrowding the pan when frying the prawns. This ensures even cooking and a delightful texture for your donburi.
