Add the celery and cook for one minute.</p> <p>Add the cooked chicken, sesame seeds and cook for another minute.</p> <p>Scatter the rice into the wok, separating with fingers, then add soy mix and stir quickly to combine.</p> <p>Add the sliced omelet, spring onion and sprouts, stir through and check seasoning, adding more soy if necessary.</p> <p>Serve piping hot, sprinkled with coriander leaves and snipped chilli.</p> <p><strong>Tip:</strong> to make a more classic fried rice, add one sliced lap cheong Chinese pork sausage or chopped bacon when you fry off the garlic and ginger in step five, and finish with half a cup of cooked prawns.</p>
