Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Scramble the eggs until just cooked, then remove from the wok.

In the same wok, add a little more oil and sauté the minced shallots and garlic until fragrant and softened (about 2 minutes).
3
Stir in the sambal oelek and cook for another 30 seconds.
4
Add the day-old rice, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until heated through.

Drizzle the sweet soy sauce over the rice and toss evenly until all grains are coated and caramelized.
6
Return the scrambled eggs to the wok, toss well to combine, and serve hot with cucumber slices.
