For years I loved visiting Wagamama for their spicy prawn firecracker rice! It tasted amazing and I used to have it pretty regularly… until I found out that they started to put alcohol in it *cries*! I was definitely heartbroken and have been trying to whip up my own version ever since! I’m pretty chuffed with my recipe and thought that any ex-wagamama lovers would love it too!
I hope you enjoy it and let me know if you try it out! 😀

I just heard back from Wagamama customer service to confirm some recipes have been changed but they can confirm no alcohol is used in the firecracker sauce
