Ingredients

11⁄4 cups jasmine rice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, finely diced
1⁄4 cup bottled green curry paste
2 small green chillies, seeded, thinly sliced (optional)
400g can coconut milk

200g snow peas, trimmed, cut in thirds diagonally
5-6 green onions, thinly sliced
1 bunch coriander, leaves only, roughly chopped
Lime or lemon wedges, to serve

Preparation method

1. Cook rice in boiling lightly salted water until tender. Drain.

2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large wok. Cook onion for 2-3 minutes, stirring until soft. Add curry paste and chillies; stir for 1 minute until fragrant. Add coconut milk; bring to the boil. Add fish and prawns; simmer for 5 minutes. Add snow peas, green onion and half the coriander; simmer 1 minute.

3. To serve, spoon rice into bowls, top with curry. Sprinkle with remaining coriander. Serve with lime.

Watching cholesterol? Use light coconut milk; replace the prawns with more fish. Look for prawn meat at the service fish counter at supermarkets, or use frozen.
