3. Add prawns and continue stirring for 2 minutes for the prawns to colour. Add crushed garlic and mix through before adding rice and frozen vegetables.
   

4. Cook, stirring for 3 minutes for the rice and veggies to heat through.

5. Drizzle with soy sauce and stir until the rice is coated evenly in the sauce.
