Step 1
Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Add chicken to the skillet skin-side down (if skin is on) and sear without moving for 5–6 minutes until golden. Flip and cook 4–5 minutes more until cooked through.
Step 3
Transfer chicken to a plate. In the same skillet, add tempeh slices and fry 2 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to the plate.
Step 4
Add tofu cubes and fry until all sides are light golden, about 5 minutes total, stirring occasionally. Transfer to the plate.
Step 5
In the remaining oil, add chopped greens and stir-fry until wilted and tender, about 2 minutes. Season with salt.
Step 6
Smash the fried chicken with the back of a spoon, then dollop sambal oelek over the top. Serve alongside rice, fried tempeh, tofu, greens, and fresh cucumber slices.
