Step 1
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Toss with 2 tbsp sambal, turmeric, salt, and pepper.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Working in batches, sear chicken 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Step 3
Transfer chicken to a plate. Add tofu and tempeh to the same oil; fry until golden, 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 4
In the same skillet, quickly wilt bean sprouts over medium heat, 30 seconds, then transfer to a plate.
Step 5
Divide rice between two plates. Arrange chicken, tofu, tempeh, and sprouts on top.
