Method
Dice the firm tofu and slice the shallots for stir-frying.
Heat a little oil in a wok and pan-fry the diced tofu for 5 minutes until golden on all sides, then set aside.
Blend the soaked chillies, remaining shallots and garlic into a paste for the sambal.
Heat the remaining oil in the wok and fry the sambal paste for 8 minutes until fragrant and the oil separates.
Stir in the tamarind paste and palm sugar and cook for 2 minutes until glossy.
Stir in the sweet dark soy sauce and the fried tofu, then add the cooked rice and toss over high heat for 5 minutes, breaking up any clumps, until every grain is coated and hot through.
Serve the fried rice topped with the halved tofu puffs, sliced cucumber and crispy fried shallots.
