1
For easy you can blizt the garlic, shallots and chili, this saves chopping finely. Heat the oil and add the garlic/shallot/chili mix and saute for about 2 mins making sure it doesn't burn or the garlic will turn bitter.

2
Add the rice, soy & ketup manis, and pepper mashing any lumps out of the rice and mixing the well. Cook a further minute or so to heat through.
3
Plate up. Fry the eggs to just set the yolks and place on top of the rice, sprinkle with fried shallots.
4
Traditionally the eggs are fried in a wok with a quite a bit of oil so they go crispy on the edges and the whites cook quickly leaving a very runny yolk. However, as much as this taste good its probably oil overload.
