🛒 Ingredients

✓ 3 cups cooked jasmine rice (chilled, day-old)
✓ 2.5 tbsp vegetable oil
✓ 2 tbsp low-sodium chicken broth
✓ 4 shallots, thinly sliced (divided: 2 tbsp for oil, rest for cooking)
✓ 4 cloves garlic, minced
✓ 2 red chilies (or to taste), sliced thin
✓ 2 large eggs, beaten lightly
✓ 3 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep Your Rice: Use cold, day-old jasmine rice. If rice is warm or clumpy, spread on a tray for 10 minutes in the fridge to dry slightly. Clumps break apart better when chilled.

2. Make Crispy Shallot Oil: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp thinly sliced shallots. Fry 4–5 minutes until golden and crisp, stirring often. Drain on paper towels; reserve fragrant oil.

3. Heat the Wok: Place a large wok or wide skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute until very hot. Add the remaining 1.5 tbsp oil and reserved shallot oil. Swirl to coat.

4. Aromatics First: Add minced garlic and sliced red chilies. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn. Garlic should remain pale gold.

5. Build the Rice Base: Add cold rice and the 2 tbsp broth. Break up clumps with the back of a wooden spoon, tossing constantly for 3–4 minutes. Every grain should glisten and separate.

6. Create an Egg Ribbon: Push rice to the side of the wok. Pour beaten eggs into the empty space. Let set for 10 seconds, then scramble gently and toss with rice until evenly distributed.

7. Season with Sauces: Reduce heat to medium. Add kecap manis, molasses, fish sauce, and sambal (if using). Toss constantly for 1–2 minutes until sauce coats rice evenly and slightly caramelizes.

8. Finish and Plate: Add green onions and a pinch of white pepper. Toss for 20 seconds. Divide among bowls and top each with crispy fried shallots and an extra drizzle of fragrant shallot oil.
