• Rinse the rice to remove excess starch. Pour 300ml cold salted water (per 2P) into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
• Stir in the rice and bring to the boil.
• Once boiling, lower the heat to medium, cover and cook for 12 mins.
• Once cooked, remove the pot from the heat.
• Keep covered for another 12 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

• Meanwhile, roughly chop the mushrooms.
• Halve the chilli and discard the core and seeds. Finely chop.
• Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
• Stir the coconut milk (or shake the packet) to dissolve any lumps.

• Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
• When the pan is hot, add the onion and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper.
• Fry until browned, stirring occasionally, 5-6 mins.
• Add the lemongrass paste and chilli (use less if you don't like spice).
• Fry until fragrant, another 30 secs.

NOTE: Adding chicken? Add to the hot pan and fry until browned, 6-8 mins, before adding the veg.

• Add the prawns and coconut milk to the pan.
• Cover and cook for 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. Prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.
• Loosen the sauce with a splash of water if necessary.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.

• While the prawns cook, trim and thinly slice the scallion.
• Add the honey and miso to a bowl and mix to combine.

• Fluff up the rice with a fork and divide between bowls.
• Top with the fragrant prawn curry. 
• Drizzle the honey miso sauce over the bowls.
• Finish with a sprinkling of sliced scallion.
