Dairy-Free Nasi Goreng (Fried Rice)

Instructions

1. 1Ensure the 4 cups of cooked rice are completely cool before starting. Cooling the rice helps it fry better and prevents it from clumping.
2. 2Cut the about 450 g of chicken breast into 1.27 cm cubes. Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat (204.4°C / 200°C). Add the cubed about 450 g of chicken breast and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 74°C. Transfer the cooked chicken to a separate plate and set it aside.
3. 3Add the remaining 1 tbsp of vegetable oil to the same large skillet or wok and heat it over medium-high heat (204.4°C / 200°C). Mince the 3 cloves of garlic and thinly slice the 2 pieces of shallots. Add the minced 3 cloves of garlic and sliced 2 pieces of shallots to the hot oil and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until they become fragrant and lightly golden.
4. 4Peel and finely dice the 1 piece of carrot. Add the diced 1 piece of carrot and the 0.5 cup of green peas to the skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
5. 5Return the 4 cups of cooked rice and the cooked about 450 g of chicken breast to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the rice and chicken are thoroughly heated through.
6. 6Pour the 4 tbsp of kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) and the 2 tbsp of soy sauce over the rice mixture. Stir everything well to coat evenly and continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce is absorbed and the rice appears glossy.
7. 7Push the fried rice mixture to one side of the large skillet, creating an empty space. Crack the 2 pieces of egg directly into this empty space. Scramble the 2 pieces of egg with a spatula for about 1 to 2 minutes, breaking them into small pieces, until they are fully cooked and no longer runny.
8. 8Mix the scrambled 2 pieces of egg thoroughly into the fried rice. Thinly slice the 2 stalks of scallions and sprinkle them over the top of the nasi goreng before serving.
