Begin by marinating the chicken thighs in sweet dark soy sauce (kecap manis) to infuse the rice with its distinctive flavor.
Chop the onion and a large red chili pepper. You can keep the seeds and white membranes for more heat, or remove them for a milder taste.
Prepare the stir-fry sauce by mixing sweet dark soy sauce with regular soy sauce—the regular soy is saltier, while the dark soy adds sweetness.
Use freshly cooked rice that’s ready for frying.
Heat some oil in a wok until hot, then add the onion, chili pepper, and garlic. Stir-fry until aromatic.
Push the vegetables to the side of the wok and add the marinated chicken. Spread it out to sear and brown it evenly rather than steaming.
Add Thai or Indonesian shrimp paste directly into the wok. Stir it into the oil to melt and distribute the flavor evenly.
Add the rice and the prepared stir-fry sauce, mixing well so every grain is coated and everything is combined.
Optionally, add small cubes of tofu at this stage for extra texture and flavor.
Serve the dish with fresh cucumber, tomato slices, and a dollop of spicy sambal Olek chili paste.
