Tips for Success

Here are some tips to make sure your Honey Garlic Prawn Rice Bowls turn out perfectly:

• Don’t overcook the prawns; they cook quickly and become rubbery if left too long.
• Prep your ingredients ahead of time. Having everything ready makes the cooking process smooth and quick.
• Make extra sauce if you like things a bit saucier. You can always adjust to your taste.

How to Store Honey Garlic Prawn Rice Bowls

If you have leftovers (which I doubt, but just in case), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if needed to keep it moist.
