Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut the 1 lb chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken until golden and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp shrimp paste and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the 2 cups cooked rice and toss to coat evenly, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Slice the 1 cucumber and chop the 3 green onions. Serve the rice topped with crispy chicken, cucumber, and green onions. Add chili sauce or extra shrimp paste if desired.
