- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 shallots
- Shrimp paste (terasi udang) to taste
- Red chili peppers (adjust to spice preference)
- Royco seasoning (or equivalent)

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Aromatics: Begin by finely grinding the garlic, shallots, red chili peppers, and shrimp paste (terasi udang) into a smooth paste. This mixture will form the flavor base of your fried rice.

Cook the Aromatics: Heat a little oil in a skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the ground aromatic paste to the pan. Sauté until the mixture becomes fragrant and slightly caramelized, ensuring the flavors are well-developed.
-
Add Corned Beef: Once the paste has cooked to your liking, add the canned corned beef to the skillet. Stir and cook for a few minutes, allowing the corned beef to integrate with the aromatic paste and take on its flavors.
-
Incorporate the Rice: Add the white rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps as you stir it into the beef and spice mixture. Continue to stir-fry the rice until it is evenly coated with the seasoning and heated through.
-
Season the Rice: Season the rice with salt and Royco seasoning to taste. Adjust the amount based on your preference for saltiness and flavor depth.
-
Final Adjustments: Taste your fried rice and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or Royco seasoning if desired to achieve the perfect balance of flavors.
-
Serve: Once the fried rice is seasoned to your liking and fully heated, it’s ready to be served. Enjoy this flavorful and spicy dish as a satisfying meal on its own or as a side.
