Directions

This dish is best made from cold leftover rice, but you can cook a fresh batch and leave it to cool for at least 4 hours. Beat the eggs and make into an omelet, slice into strips and set aside. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan. Add the chopped onion, leek, garlic and chilies. Fry until the onion is soft. Add the coriander and cumin. Slice chicken into strips and add with the prawns to the onion mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until well mixed. Add the rice, soy sauce, and omelet strips and cook for a further 5 minutes. Decorate with some of the leftover leek and serve hot. Enjoy.
