Ingredients

3 cups cold cooked rice
8 oz Chicken Thighs
3 tbsp kecap manis (sweet soy)
1 tbsp sambal or chili paste
3 shallots + 3 cloves garlic, blended to a paste
2 eggs, fried crisp
Cucumber, fried shallots, lime

Method

Fry the shallot-garlic paste in oil until fragrant and no longer raw, 2 minutes. Add the Chicken Thighs and cook through.
Push aside, add the cold rice, and fry hard, breaking up clumps and letting it catch a little on the pan.
Drizzle in the kecap manis and sambal and toss until every grain is glossy and mahogany.
Plate with a crisp-edged fried egg on top, cucumber, fried shallots, and a wedge of lime.
