Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat ribs dry and arrange on a foil-lined sheet pan. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Mix kecap manis with juice of half the lime and minced chili. Brush two coats onto ribs, letting each coat sink in.

  3. Step 3

    Broil ribs on high 6–8 inches from heat for 12–14 minutes, turning halfway. Edges should char and glaze should caramelize.

  4. Step 4

    While ribs broil, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Scramble eggs until just set, then push to the side.

  5. Step 5

    Add shallot to the empty side and cook 1 minute until fragrant. Toss in rice, breaking up clumps, and stir constantly for 3 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Drizzle fried rice with soy sauce and squeeze of remaining lime juice. Plate rice, arrange ribs alongside, and serve sambal in a small bowl.
