Tips & Hints:

For best results, cook 1 1/3 cups of rice to make 4 cups of cooked rice. Spread cooked rice out evenly on a large flat tray, cover and refrigerate until cold. This can be done the day before.
For a quick alternative, use microwave jasmine rice 1 x 450g bag and 1 x 250g bag. Follow packet instructions to heat. Spoon onto a tray and refrigerate until ready to use.
You can also use any leftover meat such as shredded barbecue chicken or roast pork in place of fresh chicken and prawns.
Sambal oelek is an Indonesian chilli sauce. Substitute with any chilli sauce if preferred. Adjust amount to suit.
