Method:

1. Debone the chicken and season the cavity with salt, pepper, minced ginger and fish sauce, set aside.

2. Place the rice in a saucepan with 2 cups water. Bring to the boil and cook for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and pour off the water, holding the lid in place so the rice is not lost. Add the coconut milk and chicken stock powder and simmer on very low heat until the rice is tender.

3. Drain the prawns and mushrooms and chop finely, shop the sausage. Sauté the onions, garlic, vegetables, prawns and sausage in the oil for 3-4 minutes, then stir into the rice adding salt, pepper and fish sauce to taste. Stuff into the chicken and squeeze to reform into its shape.

4. Place the chicken in a frying basket and fry in hot oil until cooked through and golden brown on the surface. Drain well and slice to serve.
