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)
Steps
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat with nonstick cooking spray.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
