Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 green chile peppers, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 leek, chopped
• 1 cup uncooked white rice
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 3 large eggs, beaten

• 3 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (Indonesian kecap manis)

Recipe Instructions

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.
