Thai seafood fried rice

Cook the rice without salt until just cooked; it should still have a good bite. Whisk the eggs with a little light soy sauce. Scramble the eggs in a little hot fat and set aside. Heat the butter and oil in a large pan and sauté the onion. Add the diced vegetables and sauté until soft. Season well with plenty of granulated stock (instead of salt), a little light soy sauce, and about 1/2 tablespoon of sugar; you don’t want to add any more seasoning to the rice later. Add the seafood and stir-fry for a few minutes. Be careful, it must be dry, or the rice will overcook! Pat dry with kitchen paper if necessary. Now add the rice and fry for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Mix in the egg and chopped spring onions, season to taste, then garnish with cucumber slices and serve.
