Then fry an egg and set aside.

Blend the shallot, garlic, red chili, and toasted belacan..

Heat up a pan, add oil. Add the above blended paste and stir-fry until aromatic.

Add the rice into the pan and stir well with the flavoring paste.

Finally add kecap manis and palm sugar into the rice and continue to stir-fry and make sure that they are well blended with the rice.
