Serves:  4
Preparation Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:  
  • 200g Chicken fillet, diced
  • 100g King Prawns, shelled and de-veined
  • 2 tbsp Cooking oil 
  • 1 tbsp Sambal Oelek 
  • 20g Shrimp paste

Method:

Cook the rice according to pack instructions, set aside to cool down to room temperature. Using a pestle and mortar, combine the shrimp paste and sambal oelek into a paste. In a wok, heat the oil to high heat and then stir fry the paste until fragrant, approximately 2 minutes. Add the diced chicken and stir well to prevent sticking. When chicken is almost cooked, add in king prawns and stir well for another 5 minutes, or until prawns are cooked (prawn bodies are tightly curled and colour is now pink). Add in cabbage and spring onion to stir fry for 3 minuts or until the vegetables have softened. Add in rice, ABC Sweet Soy Sauce and ABC Salty Soy Sauce, mixing well for 2 minutes. Garnish with chopped spring onion and serve.
