Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Add the sliced chicken thigh fillets and soy sauce to a bowl and mix well. Note: it is important that chicken pieces are not too big, or else they won’t cook quickly.
Set a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once warm, add the chicken and fry for 6-7 minutes, until cooked through. Do this in batches if needed so as not to overcrowd the pan. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Add the sliced spring onion, shredded cabbage and grated carrot, and fry for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add the jasmine rice, using a wooden spoon to break it up as you go, and cook for 3-4 minutes, until steaming hot.
Add the fish sauce, kecap manis and the cooked chicken. Remove from the heat, taste and adjust the seasoning as required. You’re looking for a balance of sweet, salty and sharp. Use the soy sauce, fish sauce and kecap manis to adjust the flavour. When you're happy serve and enjoy!
