Preparation

• Add all the ingredients for the rice into the rice cooker, give a good stir and cook as usual.
  Once done, let it cool down first before stirring in with a chopstick so that the rice does not become lumpy and gummed up together.
  The rice and all of the rest of ingredients goes into a bowl. Stir and toss.
  For the spicy taste, serve with sambal belacan (its only if you prefer it this way)
