Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice shallots thin. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high, then fry shallots until golden and crispy, ~4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  2. Step 2

    Pat chicken dry, season with salt and pepper. Sear in the same skillet 5 minutes per side until skin crisps and edges brown. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Beat eggs with a pinch of salt. Pour into the skillet, let set 20 seconds, then scramble until just cooked through. Transfer to a plate and shred with two forks.

  4. Step 4

    Add rice, turmeric, and coconut milk to the skillet. Stir over medium heat until rice is golden and fragrant, ~3 minutes. Taste and season with salt.

  5. Step 5

    While rice cooks, trim snap peas or slice carrots thin and blanch in salted boiling water until tender-crisp, ~2 minutes. Drain well.

  6. Step 6

    Divide rice between bowls. Top with chicken pieces, shredded egg, blanched vegetables, and crispy shallots. Squeeze lime over and serve hot.
