Ingredients

400 g Cooked Long Grain Rice 3 Cups
100 g Cocktail Prawns (Shrimp) 1 Cup
100 g Chicken Thigh Meat 4oz
100 g Pork Tenderloin 4oz
100 g Lean Beef Steak 4oz
1 tablespoon Oyster Sauce
6 Spring Onions
1 Small Carrot 75g
100 g Frozen Sweetcorn ⅔ Cup
100 g Frozen Peas ⅔ Cup
2 tablespoon Cooking Oil
3 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon Shaoxing Wine
⅛ teaspoon MSG
⅛ teaspoon Sugar
⅛ teaspoon White Pepper
2 Eggs

Instructions

Cut the chicken thigh meat, steak and pork fillet into strips, 3-4mm thick and 2cm long (⅛"x¾"), and place them in a bowl.
Add the oyster sauce, mix to coat and allow it to sit whilst you prepare the remaining ingredients.
Run the peas and sweet corn under cold water to defrost; this should take 3 or 4 minutes.
Do the same with the cocktail prawns if they are frozen.
Finely slice the spring onions into 3mm (⅛") thick rings and separate the white bits from the green bits.
Cut the carrot into a 3-5mm (⅛-¼") dice.
Crack the eggs into a bowl and lightly beat with a fork.
Heat a wok over a high heat, when hot, add half of the oil and quickly stir-fry the marinated beef, chicken and pork for 60-90 seconds, then remove and set aside.
Add the remaining oil to the wok and when it's hot, add the egg and stir fry for 30-60 seconds.
Toss in the carrot and white parts of the spring onion, the MSG, sugar and white pepper, then stir fry for 30 seconds.
Add the rice and stir fry for another 1½-2 minutes, keeping the rice moving all the time.
Push everything to the side of the wok, pour in the soy sauce and Shaoxing wine, and when it begins to bubble, combine the soy with the rice and egg.
Return the fried meats to the pan along with the defrosted prawns, peas and sweetcorn and stir fry for 60-90 seconds.
Just before you serve, toss the spring onions through the stir fry.
