1. Beat eggs together until well mixed
and foamy. Pour in heated, oiled, wok
and tilt to spread egg to form a thin
omelette across the base of pan. Cook
1-2 minutes, or until just set. Roll up

to a plate. Cool slightly and cut into thin
strips. Set aside to cool.
2. Combine onion, garlic, chillies, shrimp
paste, coriander and sugar into the small
bowl of the food processor and process
until it forms a paste. You may need to
add a little oil or water to enable the
ingredients to blend properly.
3. Heat remaining oil on a medium-high
heat. Add paste and cook for 1–2 minutes
or until fragrant.
4. Add sliced chicken and stir fry for
2–3 minutes to seal. Add prawns and
cabbage and continue cooking for a
further 5 minutes.
5. Stir in cold rice, breaking up any lumps,
until the rice is heated through. Add
sauces and green onions.
Serve topped with cucumber and carrot strips
and Asian shallots.

Shrimp paste is available in the Asian
section of your supermarket.
