Indonesian-style Chicken Fried Rice

Step 1 · Mix the Sauces

In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then set aside.

• 1 tbspFish Sauce
• 1 tbspSoy Sauce

Step 2 · Process Aromatics

In a food processor, combine the shallots, chillies, garlic, ginger, and 1 tablespoon oil. Process until as smooth as possible, though the puree will remain slightly coarse, about 20 seconds, scraping the bowl as needed.

• ×3Shallots, roughly chopped
• 3 clovesGarlic, smashed and peeled
• 1.5 gGinger, peeled and roughly chopped

Step 3 · Cook the Chicken

In a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil until barely smoking. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the shallot-chilli mixture and cook, stirring often, until beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 4 · Add the Rice

Add the rice, breaking apart any clumps with your hands. Stir to combine with the chicken mixture, then cook without stirring until heated through and beginning to brown on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 5 · Finish and Serve

Add the fish sauce and soy sauce mixture and stir until well combined. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the scallions.
