Mix cornflour with 2 tbs water to make a smooth paste. Add to pan and stir well. Cook for 2 minutes or until thickened slightly. Stir in capsicums, pineapple and onion, remove from heat and allow to cool.
3. To make fried rice: heat 2 tbs oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook onions, carrot, celery and garlic for 3 minutes or until soft. Add sausage and cook for 2 minutes or until lightly coloured. Add prawns, chicken and rice and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until heathed through.
