Ingredients

  • 4 cups Cooked White Rice
  • 1 lb Chicken Breast, diced
  • 3 tbsp Kecap Manis (Sweet Soy Sauce)
  • 3 medium Shallots, minced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 small Red Chili Pepper, minced (optional)
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 4 large Egg
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp White Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Scallions, sliced

Instructions

  1. 1Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large 12-inch skillet or wok over medium-high heat, which is about 375°F (190°C).
  2. 2Add the 3 medium shallots, minced; 3 cloves garlic, minced; and 1 small red chili pepper, minced (if using). Sauté for 1-2 minutes until they smell fragrant, stirring constantly.
  3. 3Add the 1 lb of chicken breast, diced, to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  4. 4Add the 4 cups of cooked white rice and 3 tablespoons of kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) to the skillet. Stir everything together well, breaking up any clumps of rice, and cook for 3-5 minutes until the rice is heated through and evenly coated.
  5. 5Season the fried rice with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper, stirring to combine.
  6. 6While the rice is finishing, heat a separate non-stick skillet over medium heat (about 350°F/175°C). Crack the 4 large eggs into the skillet and cook for 2-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your preference.
  7. 7Serve the Nasi Goreng Ayam immediately, dividing it among 4 plates. Top each serving with a fried egg and sprinkle with the 2 tablespoons of sliced scallions.
