Place the rice and 1½ cups cold tap water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, uncovered over high heat. Reduce heat to low, stir, cover and simmer on low heat for 12 minutes. Remove from the heat. Spoon the rice into a sieve and rinse until the rice feels cool. Drain well. Spread onto a baking tray. Refrigerate, uncovered for 2 hours or until cold.</p>
<p>Tip: Spreading the rice onto a tray and refrigerating uncovered allows it to dry on the surface, this prevents it going ‘gluggy’ when stir-frying. If you're short on time, freeze the rice for 1 hour.</p>
<p>Tip: Alternatively, you can use 2-3 cups of leftover rice. Simply refrigerate the leftover rice.

Place the oil, shallots, garlic and Smoked Sausage/Bacon in a cold wok (see tip). Place over medium heat and cook, stir frying for 5 minutes until shallots are light golden. Add the tomato sauce, soy and chili oil. Stir to combine. Increase the heat to high and add the chicken. Stir-fry 3-5 minutes until chicken is hot and starts to become crispy on the edges. Add the peppers and bean sprouts, stir fry for 1 minute.</p>
<p>Tip: By starting with a cold wok the shallots and garlic will cook slowly, which allows them to soften and become sweet before golden.
