Sambal Chicken Fried Rice

Mum has been my sole supplier of any grinded chilli sauce and paste. Chicken rice chilli, sambal belachan, dried shrimp chilli (hae bee hiam) are all stashed away in my freezer. I use them carefully. My mum makes seriously good chilli paste and I am always happy to take it when she makes them and give us some!

There was this one weekend evening that I had no idea what I wanna cook. (Yes yes, sorry for yet another overdue post. Hehe!) I had put no effort into thinking what to prep for dinner that day. Ran through my fridge and gathered some ingredients to come up with this sambal chicken fried rice in the end.  Simple meal but Hubby was sweet enough to say that it was good enough for him.
