5 ½ tbsp peanut oil, divided

2 eggs, lightly whisked

1 brown onion, finely chopped

20 ½ cups precooked rice

1 cup frozen peas

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

2 cm ginger, finely chopped

3 spring onions, finely chopped

180 g Lap Cheong, roughly chopped (or bacon pieces)

1 tsp Chinese cooking wine/ Shaoxing wine

3 tbsp light soy sauce

CHILLI-GARLIC PRAWNS:

18 green (raw) prawns, shelled and de-veined

½ tsp peanut oil

1 garlic clove, finely chopped

1 tsp light soy sauce

1 red chilli, finely chopped (seeds optional)

Weber Gourmet BBQ System Wok

Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking over medium-high heat (200°C to 260°C) with a wok. Preheat the wok for 10 minutes. While the barbecue is preheating, in a medium bowl, combine all of the prawn ingredients. Thread the prawns onto metal skewers and set aside.

Add ½ a tablespoon of peanut oil to the wok and add the eggs. Close the barbecue lid and fry the eggs over direct medium-high heat, with the lid closed, for 2 minutes, or until cooked. Remove from the wok and roughly chop.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of peanut oil to the wok and add the onion. Sautee over direct medium-high heat for 3 minutes, stirring as required and keeping the barbecue lid closed as much as possible throughout the cook.

Add the garlic, ginger and sausage (or bacon) and continue cooking for 6 minutes, stirring as required.

Add the cooked rice, peas, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine and continue to cook for a further 6 minutes, stirring as required. Place the prawns onto the cooking grill and grill over direct medium-high heat for 2 to 4 minutes, or until cooked through, turning halfway through the cooking time. Remove the prawns from the barbecue once cooked.

Immediately serve the fried rice with the grilled prawns.
