Method
Dice the chicken and slice the shallots.
Heat half the vegetable oil in a wok and stir-fry the shallots and garlic until fragrant.
Add the diced chicken and stir-fry for 6 minutes until cooked through.
Insert a meat thermometer into a piece of chicken; it must read at least 74 degrees Celsius before continuing.
Stir in the sambal tumis and sweet dark soy sauce and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the cooked rice and toss over high heat for 5 minutes, breaking up any clumps, until every grain is coated and hot through.
Fry the eggs sunny-side up in a separate pan while the rice finishes cooking.
Serve the fried rice topped with a fried egg, sliced cucumber and crispy fried shallots.
