This simple rice dish is as Indonesian as it gets. It is such a pleasant meal to make and eat. The secrets are the sweet soy sauce used in many Indonesian dishes, ketjap manis, and the addition of a runny fried egg.

Best of all you can make it with any combination of ingredients, even the old veggies in the back of the fridge :).

Steps:

1. Chuck a really good slug of peanut oil in a wok or deep pan.
2. Add slices of shallots and 2-3 cloves worth of finely diced garlic and stir fry for a few minutes.
3. Throw in a handful each of:
   • sliced bacon
   • sliced snow peas
   • corn kernels
4. Add 3-4 Tbsp ketjap manis and 2 Tbsp tomato sauce and stir fry until the bacon is cooked.
5. Keep stir frying everything as you mix in 2 cups of previously cooked rice.
6. Stop when everything is well mixed and hot.
7. Serve with a runny fried egg, chili sauce (I used sriracha) and some coriander leaves.

Enjoy,

PK
