For best results, use day-old cooked rice, as it will be drier and absorb the flavors better. Adjust the amount of chile peppers to your desired level of spiciness. Kecap manis is a key ingredient and provides the signature sweet and savory flavor. Look for it in Asian grocery stores or online. Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots, peas, or bell peppers for extra nutrients and color. Garnish with fried shallots, fresh cilantro, or sliced cucumber for added flavor and visual appeal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Omelet: Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
02
StepPour in the beaten eggs and cook until the edges begin to set, about 1 minute. Gently lift the edges to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Flip the omelet and cook for another 30 seconds, until fully set.
03
StepTransfer the omelet to a cutting board and slice into thin, 1/2-inch strips. Set aside.
04
StepSauté Aromatics and Proteins: Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat.
05
StepAdd the chopped onion, leek, chile peppers, and minced garlic. Stir-fry until the onion softens and becomes fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
06
StepIntroduce the chicken strips, shrimp, coriander, and cumin. Mix well to coat the proteins with the spices. Cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through and the shrimp turns pink, about 5 minutes.
07
StepCombine and Finish: Add the cooked rice, sweet soy sauce, and sliced omelet strips to the wok.
08
StepStir-fry continuously until the rice is heated through, the chicken is fully cooked, and all ingredients are well combined, about 3-5 minutes.
