Because I grew up believing no one made it better than we did at home, I’m proud to share our family recipe here.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 2/3 cups uncooked white rice (yields about 5 cups cooked rice)
- 2/3 lb ground beef
- 7 oz thick-cut bacon, diced
- 3 1/2 oz ham, sliced
- 4 large eggs
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 beef bouillon cube (0.36 oz)
- 6 tablespoons kecap manis (see above for a subsitute)
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons crispy fried shallots
- Vegetable oil
- Prawn crackers, for serving
Instructions
- Cook 1 2/3 cups white rice. Meanwhile, heat a splash of vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or wok and cook 2/3 lb ground beef until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Add 2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced, and cook briefly until fragrant.
- Stir in 6 tablespoons kecap manis (see above for a subsitute) and crumble in 1 beef bouillon cube. Mix well, cover, and let it simmer gently for a few minutes.
- Dice 7 oz thick-cut bacon and cook in a skillet until lightly crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Beat 3 eggs with 3 tablespoons milk and cook two thin omelets in the same skillet you used for the bacon.
- Roll the omelets up like crepes and slice into thin strips. Do the same with 3 1/2 oz ham, cutting it into thin strips. Set aside.
- For extra texture, stir 2 tablespoons crispy fried shallots into the beef mixture. Push the meat to one side of the pan, crack in 1 egg, scramble it briefly, then mix it through the beef.
- Add the cooked rice to the beef mixture along with the bacon, omelet strips, and ham. Toss well until everything is evenly combined and heated through. Selamat makan, in other words: enjoy!
