Instructions

  1. Cook the rice in water or with a little coconut milk. Keep it warm, covered.
  2. Blend the chillies, onions, garlic and dried shrimp. Fry this sambal in the oil for 10 minutes over medium heat until fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken and coconut milk, then simmer for 25 minutes until the sauce thickens and the meat is tender.
  4. Blanch the green beans and bean sprouts for 2 minutes in boiling water, then drain. Quickly stir-fry the sliced zucchini.
  5. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes, peel them and cut them in half.
  6. Arrange the rice in the centre of a large platter and place the vegetables, chicken, eggs and sambal around it. Serve to share.

Variations and tips

Vegetarian version. Replace the chicken with fried tofu and use the vegetable cooking water instead of coconut milk in the sauce.
