  3. Add onion and garlic to wok. Stir-fry 1 minute. Add chicken and prawns, stir-frying 3 to 4 minutes, until chicken is golden and prawns change colour.

  4. Push mixture to one side of pan. Pour in eggs. Cook 2 minutes, scrambling until almost set. Combine with chicken mixture.

TOP TIP
  • Tamarind can be bought as a paste or seeds. Soak seeds in warm water to soften and push solids through a sieve to extract the paste. Liquid tamarind concentrate can also be used in place of the paste.
