This hearty chip shop-style special fried rice is packed with chicken, prawns, char siu-style pork, peas, and egg for a satisfying takeout-inspired meal. Serve it with Chinese curry sauce and prawn crackers for the full British Chinese takeaway experience at home.
Heat 2 tbsp of the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened but not browned. Crack in 2 eggs and scramble them with the onion until just set.

Add the cooked and cooled rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps. Stir in the soy sauce, peas, and cooked prawns, then toss everything together until the rice is evenly coated and heated through.

Divide the sliced chicken breast and sliced Chinese roast pork between serving bowls or takeaway-style containers. Spoon the hot fried rice mixture over the meat.

In a separate pan, heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil and cook 1 egg at a time into thin omelets. Fold each omelet in half and place one on top of each portion of rice. Press the rice down lightly if you want a compact takeaway-style shape.

Serve hot with sliced spring onion, prawn crackers, and prepared Chinese curry sauce on the side or spooned over the top. If reheating from chilled, microwave until piping hot before serving.

Use day-old rice for the best texture and to avoid mushy fried rice. Chinese roast pork can be replaced with cooked ham or extra chicken if needed. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat thoroughly before eating.
