Steps

1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and 300 ml of water in a pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

3. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the prawns to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
4. Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and sliced red chili (if using). Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
