simple dish from Malaysia

Heat the vegetable oil in a wok and add the ghee. Stir-fry the chilies and onion in the hot fat over medium heat for about 1 minute. Add the fluffed rice and stir-fry for about 2 minutes. Then reduce the heat and push the rice to the edge, creating a well in the center. Pour in the beaten eggs and let them set, stirring gently in the center every now and then if necessary. When the mixture reaches a scrambled egg consistency, mix with the rice. Add both soy sauces and stir-fry for 1 minute over medium heat. Stir in the chopped cilantro and serve garnished with fried onions, cilantro, and lime wedges. Variation: This simple version can of course be supplemented with other ingredients. 100g of cooked green peas or 200g of cooked shrimp, added after the eggs along with the soy sauces, are excellent options.
