Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked long grain white rice
- 3 tablespoons cooking oil
- ¼ cup dried anchovies
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 2 serrano peppers minced
- 1 tablespoon sambal oelek
- ½ teaspoon shrimp paste
- ½ teaspoon coconut sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon white pepper
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon salt adjust to preference
- 3 cups water spinach ong choy
- 1 cup shredded or cubed chicken cooked
- 3 green onions chopped
- Fried shallots optional for serving
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a wok over medium high heat and add the anchovies. Fry for 1-2 minutes, then remove and set aside.
- Add the shrimp paste, sambal, garlic, chilies, pepper, salt, and sugar and fry 30-60 seconds.
- Add the anchovies back in. Add the water spinach and toss to combine. Let it cook down for 3-5 minutes, tossing regularly to prevent spices from burning.
- Add the chicken and green onions and toss to combine.
- Add the rice and toss to combine, breaking up any chunks of rice. Let cook 2-4 minutes, until fully combined and rice starts to brown lightly in places.
- Remove from heat and serve topped with crispy fried shallots. You can also top with a fried egg.
Notes
- Break up all the clumps in the rice before putting it into the wok/skillet.
- You can substitute any protein for the chicken if you'd like. You can also brown it up if you don't have any cooked chicken.
- You can also use this sambal belacan in place of the sambal and shrimp paste.
- If you don't have a wok, you can use a large heavy bottomed skillet.
- Never use olive oil for stir frying as it has a lower smoke point and also can have a strong flavor.
- Don't use a nonstick pan as they should not be used over high heat.
- I recommend gathering and measuring all your ingredients out before getting started because it will go quick once you start cooking.
