Coarsely chop the coriander, including the stems. Coarsely chop the cucumber. Combine the cucumber and 2 tsp white vinegar in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Set aside to pickle, tossing occasionally, until needed. Massage the packet of rice to loosen and tear a 2cm opening for steam to escape. Heat in the microwave for 90 secs or until heated through.
Step 2 — Stir-fry prawns
Meanwhile, combine the prawns and 2 tsp curry paste in a bowl. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium deep frypan over high heat. Stir-fry the prawns for 2-3 mins until just cooked through. Remove from the pan.
Step 3 — Stir-fry vegetables
Heat a drizzle of oil in the same pan over high heat. Stir-fry the mixed vegetables for 2 mins or until slightly charred. Add 2 tbs water and cook, covered, for 1-2 mins until the vegetables are tender and the water is evaporated.
Step 4 — Fry rice and serve
Add the rice and remaining curry paste to the vegetables and stir-fry for 1 min. Add half the fish sauce*, 1 tsp soy sauce and a large pinch of sugar and stir-fry for 1 min or until combined. Divide the fried rice, prawns and pickled cucumber among bowls. Scatter with the coriander and peanuts to serve.
