Method
Step 1
Preheat a slow cooker on high. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 2 mins or until onion softens. Add bacon and cook, stirring, for 2 mins or until browned. Add garlic and cook for 2 mins or until aromatic. Stir in the stir-fry sauce and rice.
Step 2
Transfer to the slow cooker. Stir in stock and lime leaves. Cover and cook for 2 hours on high (or 4 hours on low) or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Add the vegetables and prawns and stir until heated through.
Step 3
Divide the rice mixture among serving bowls. Top with fried egg and coriander. Season with pepper and serve with fried shallots.
