Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 leek, chopped
  • 2 green chile peppers, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  • ½ pound peeled and deveined shrimp
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3 cups cold cooked white rice
  • 3 tablespoons kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)

Directions

Step 1
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2
Pour eggs into the hot skillet and cook until the edges begin to set. Lift the edges to allow any uncooked egg to flow onto the hot pan, about 1 minute. Flip omelet in one piece and cook until fully set, about 30 seconds. Transfer omelet to a cutting board and slice into 1/2-inch strips. Set aside.

Step 3
Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Stir in onion, leek, chile peppers, and garlic. Cook and stir until onion is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in chicken, shrimp, coriander, and cumin; mix well. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes.

Step 4
Mix in cooked rice, sweet soy sauce, and omelet strips; cook until rice is heated through and chicken is no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes.

Tips

To cook rice: Bring 2 cups of water and 1 cup white rice to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Spread onto a baking sheet, then refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours.
