  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add 1/2 cup chopped carrots, 1/2 cup chopped green beans, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (capsicum), 1/4 cup chopped celery, 1/4 cup chopped spring onions, and 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional). Stir-fry for 5 minutes until slightly softened.

  6. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Remove the garlic and set aside.
  8. Add 3 cups cooked rice to the wok. Stir-fry for 5 minutes, breaking up any clumps.
  9. Add the cooked vegetables, chicken, and prawns back to the wok.
  10. Pour in 1/2 cup chicken stock and stir to combine.
  11. Add 2 tablespoons Szechuan sauce (adjust to taste), 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon rice wine vinegar.
  12. Increase heat to high and stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes until heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  13. Garnish with the reserved fried garlic and chopped green onions (optional).
  14. Serve immediately and enjoy!
