Fry the shallots, garlic, chilli, and shrimp paste in the canola oil until golden brown.
Add the salt, soya sauce and tamarind and tomato pastes and blend to form a paste.
Heat a little oil in a heavy-based pot. When smoking, add the paste, prawns, chicken and rice.
Stir, scraping the bottom to prevent sticking. Add the vegetables and cook for 3 minutes.
Spoon into bowls and top with a fried egg. Serve with Sambal Olek (chilli paste) and chopped cucumber.
Cook's tip: this is best made with cold, dry rice, which is why leftover rice is perfect. For more tips and tricks on perfecting this Indonesian favourite, read Abigail's Nasi Goreng.
