Nasi Kucing with Shrimp and Egg

Step 1

Break up any clumps in the rice with a fork so grains separate easily.

Step 2

Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high until it shimmers.

Step 4

Add shrimp and cook without stirring for 90 seconds, then flip and cook until opaque, ~1 minute more.

Step 5

Transfer shrimp to a plate. Add minced garlic and sliced shallots to the same pan and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add rice, breaking up clumps with a spoon, and stir-fry for 3 minutes until heated through.

Step 7

Add soy sauce and stir to coat all rice, then return shrimp to the pan and toss once.

Step 8

Push rice to the side of the pan. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil and crack both eggs into the empty space.

Step 9

Cook eggs sunny-side up, 3-4 minutes, until whites set but yolks still jiggle.

Step 10

Divide rice between two bowls and top each with a fried egg and half the shrimp. Serve immediately.
