Preperation

Rice

  • Prepare the rice for 4 portions as instructed in the package and put it aside. You can add 1 tea spoon of chicken concentrate but remember to reduce any salt accordingly. Usually rice to water ratio is 1:2.

Chicken

  • Put the chicken in a bowl and add 1 tea spoon of salt, 1 tea spoon of corn flour, 1 tea spoon of sweet soy sauce, 1/2 tea spoon of banking soda and the thinly sliced chilli.
  • Mix thoroughly.
  • Put it in the fridge for around 20 minutes.
  • Once the chicken is ready. Put 1 table spoon of oil into a hot wok.
  • Then add half the garlic and ginger to that wok and let it fry for few seconds.
  • Then add the chicken. Leave the chicken flat on the wok for 2 minutes.
  • Then turn the chicken other way around. We want to make the chicken little brown but not burn it.
  • Put the cooked chicken into a clean bowl.

Eggs

  • Beat the 4 eggs lightly with 1 tea spoon of salt and 2 tea spoons of pepper.
  • Add 1 table spoon of oil to the hot wok and then add the eggs and scramble them until the eggs are little brown outside.
  • Put the cooked eggs into a clean bowl.

Stir fry

  • Add 2 table spoons of oil to the hot wok.
  • Add the garlic and ginger. Let it fry for few seconds.
  • Then add carrots and salty soy sauce and mix well.
  • Cover and let it cook for a minute.
  • Then add the leeks and cover mix well.
  • Cover and cook for 30s.
  • Then add the rice and mix well with the vegetables.
  • Then add chicken and scrambled eggs and mix well.
  • Let it sit on the stove for 30s but make sure nothing burns.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • I like food with less salt. You can add salt wherever mentioned as you prefer.
  • For the stir fry you can add bean sprouts, broccoli, bamboo shoots if you have them.
  • Serve with sweet chilli sauce or hot chilli sauce if you can’t find Chinese chilli paste.
