Notes
- Recipe Copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only.
- Thai Red Chili: You can also use a Cayenne pepper or a Bird’s Eye Chili. Remove the seeds if you want to cut down on the heat in the recipe. If you want a spicier dish, keep the seeds. You can add as many chilies as you would like.
- Chicken Breast: Boneless and skinless. Cut into cubes.
- Kecap Manis: Kecap manis is a sweet soy glaze that is popular in Indonesian cooking. It has a molasses flavor and the consistency is thick, like syrup. You can find Kecap Manis at your local Asian grocery store, and you can also buy it online here.
- Cooked White Rice: You can use any kind of leftover rice. I used short grain white rice. Make sure it has been cooked at least 24 hours before or your rice will be soggy. Here are instructions on How to Make Long Grain White Rice in the Instant Pot.
- Shrimp Paste: Most recipes call for dried shrimp called Terasi. Unfortunately I had a hard time finding this, but shrimp paste is easier to find. You can find it at your local Asian grocery store. Your local store may carry dried shrimp as well, but mine did not.
- Green Onions: Also known as Spring Onions. I only cut up the green parts of the onion, but you can add the white parts if you’d like.
- Eggs: Fried sunny side up.
- The chicken is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Recipe researched using resources from Recipe Tin Eats and Pai’s Kitchen.
- The chicken can be shredded into smaller pieces if you prefer.
- If you want a really crispy fried egg, consider frying it in olive oil instead of vegetable oil.
