Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Toss with 2 tbsp sambal, turmeric, salt, and pepper.

  2. 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.

    Transfer chicken to a plate. Add tofu and tempeh to the same oil; fry until golden, 2-3 minutes per side.

  4. Step 4

    In the same skillet, quickly wilt bean sprouts over medium heat, 30 seconds, then transfer to a plate.

  5. Step 5

    Divide rice between two plates. Arrange chicken, tofu, tempeh, and sprouts on top.

  6. Step 6

    Drizzle remaining 1 tbsp sambal over the plate. Serve immediately.
