Basic Ingredients
1. White rice (preferably leftover rice from the day before so it's drier and easier to stir-fry)
2. Garlic and shallots (finely chopped)
3. Chili according to preference
4. Eggs (scrambled or fried separately)
5. Meat or seafood like chicken, shrimp, squid, or meatballs
6. Sweet soy sauce and/or soy sauce for flavor and color
7. Salt, pepper, and powdered broth for seasoning
8. Cooking oil or sesame oil for sautéing
Sauté the spices: Heat oil, sauté garlic, shallots, and chili until fragrant. For a more distinctive aroma, you can add galangal or grated ginger.
Cook the main ingredients: Add chicken, shrimp, or squid, cook until done. Drain if necessary to avoid excess liquid.
Cook the eggs: Scramble the eggs in a separate pan or push the spices to the side of the pan, pour in the eggs, stir until cooked.
Add the rice: Add white rice, mix well with the spices and main ingredients. Make sure the rice is separate and not clumped.
Season: Add salt, pepper, stock powder, sweet soy sauce, and soy sauce to taste. Stir until well combined and the flavors are absorbed.
Add toppings: Sprinkle with green onions, fried shallots, or serve with crackers, pickles, and fresh vegetables as you like.
