Method
-
Cook the Eggs
Heat a wok over high heat. Add a little oil and scramble the eggs until just cooked. Remove and set aside.
-
Cook the Protein
Add the vegetable oil to the hot wok. Stir-fry the chicken for 4–5 minutes until lightly browned. If using prawns, add them during the final 2 minutes and cook until just pink. Remove and set aside.
-
Build the Flavour
Add the sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to the wok and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the carrots and green beans, cooking over high heat for 2–3 minutes so they remain slightly crisp.
-
Fry the Rice
Add the chilled rice, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry over high heat for 3–4 minutes until the rice is heated through and lightly toasted.
-
Add the Sauces
Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce and Level Hot Sauce. Toss continuously to coat every grain of rice evenly.
-
Finish
Return the cooked chicken, prawns, and scrambled eggs to the wok. Add the spring onions and then stir-fry for another minute until everything is well combined.
Serve immediately while hot.
