“The fried rice at Kingdom of Rice was my absolute favourite, but now that their pop-up is finished I’ll have to make my own – could you please print the recipe?” – Francis Parker, Alexandria, NSW

“This fried rice is inspired by one from the night market at Psar Toul Tom Poung (Russian Market) in Phnom Penh,” says chef Mitch Orr. Begin a day ahead to dry out the rice.
