1
Slice your onion lengthwise. Heat the oil and fry the onion, garlic, chili and shrimp paste until the onion is soft.
2
Add the rice and salt to taste. Mixing thoroughly while constantly stirring until every grain of rice is coated; then add the soya sauce and mix again until the colour is even throughout.
3
The rice should take on a nice orange-red tint from the chili powder. Cooked meat or prawns can be added with the soya sauce. Onion crisps (Goreng Bawang) is used as a garnish.
4
To make it 'istimewa' or special, a lightly fried egg, some cucumber slices and kerupuk (prawn or shrimp crackers) are served on top of the rice.
