To make the crispy garlic, heat 2 cm oil in a saucepan and, once hot, add the garlic and cook until light golden brown. Take care not to cook until dark brown as it will be bitter. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider
For the omelette ribbons, heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a splash of oil
Add enough egg to just cover the surface of the pan, then swirl it around to get even coverage. Cook until just set so you have a thin omelette
Slide it out onto a plate and repeat with the remaining mixture
Allow to cool, then roll up the omelettes and slice them into 1 cm ribbons
Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a wok over high heat
Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft
Add the chilli and garlic and cook briefly until fragrant
Add the chicken and cook until white all over, then add 1 tablespoon kecap manis. Stir through, then cook until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the wok and set aside
Add the cooked rice and the remaining 2 tablespoons of kecap manis and the shrimp paste. Cook, stirring, until the rice is caramelised and there is no liquid remaining
Add back the aromatics and chicken, the spring onions and omelette ribbons, and toss to warm through
