Introduce the ingredients: green peas, onions (white or regular), spring onions, boneless chicken, sweet corn, green pepper, carrots, long beans, king prawns (peeled and deveined), and cooked liver.

Season the chicken thighs with brown cubes, garlic powder, thyme, curry powder, and paprika; mix thoroughly and marinate for about 30 minutes.

Season the vegetables (green peas, sweet corn, green bell pepper, carrots, long beans) with thyme, curry powder, salt, garlic, and brown cubes in a large bowl.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot and add thoroughly washed rice; fry on high heat for 3 minutes while stirring continuously to prevent burning.

Add chicken broth to the rice; if not enough, add water to cover the rice, and do not add salt if the broth is well seasoned. Cover and cook three-quarters of the way.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet and add the marinated chicken; fry until well cooked, about 6-8 minutes, then transfer to a dish, leaving residual oil in the pan.

Add more vegetable oil if needed, then add the king prawns to the skillet and fry for about 5 minutes, turning them to avoid overcooking.

Add garlic paste and ginger paste to the skillet, then add chopped onions and fry for about 2 minutes, adding more onions if desired.

Add the mixed vegetables and fry for 3-5 minutes depending on desired crunchiness; add cooked liver and fried chicken, combining everything and frying for another minute.

Check the rice; if fully cooked and not sticking together, remove from heat and gradually add to the stir-fry, using a wooden spoon to combine without breaking the rice grains.

Finish by adding chopped spring onions, combine once more, and leave to simmer for another minute before serving.
