Ingredients:
- 3 cups cooked white rice
- 2 tablespoons beef corned beef (kornet sapi)
- Spice Paste:
- 3 red Thai chilies (cabe rawit merah)
- 3 curly red chilies (cabe merah keriting)
- 5 shallots (bawang merah)
- 1 clove garlic (bawang putih)
- 2 candlenuts (kemiri)
- 1 finger-sized piece of kencur root (kencur)

Prepare the Spice Paste: Begin by grinding all the spice paste ingredients—red Thai chilies, curly red chilies, shallots, garlic, candlenuts, and kencur root—into a smooth paste. You can use a mortar and pestle or a food processor for this step.
-
Sauté the Spice Paste: Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the ground spice paste and sauté until fragrant and the oil starts to separate from the paste.
-
Cook the Corned Beef: Add the beef corned beef to the skillet. Stir-fry until the corned beef changes color and starts to brown slightly, ensuring it does not burn.
-
Add the Rice: Incorporate the cooked white rice into the skillet. Mix thoroughly to combine the rice with the spice paste and corned beef. Stir well to ensure even distribution of flavors.
-
Season and Finalize: Season the fried rice with salt to taste. Add sweet soy sauce and stir until the sauce is evenly mixed and has cooked through, enhancing the overall flavor of the dish.
-
Serve: Once everything is well combined and the rice is heated through, your Kencur Fried Rice with Beef Corned Beef is ready to be served. Enjoy!
