Method

Step 1:

Pour Simply Sunflower Oil in a large heated pan or wok, then quickly add the onion and garlic to the dish. Move them around otherwise they will burn.

Step 2:

Then, add the pre-cooked Fortune Everyday Jasmine Rice and stir. Make sure you cook the rice the night before because you want the rice to separate in the pan; if you use freshly cooked rice, it will clump during the frying process. Then, add the coriander, chilli, shrimp paste and two tablespoons of kecap manis and reduce down until the rice starts to caramelise. This is key for the flavour. Once it has combined, add the fresh shallots to the mixture.

Step 3:

Fry the sliced chicken on the heated pan, coat with the remaining kecap manis. The sugars in the sauce will caramelise the chicken.
