Thinly sliced chicken
Shrimp
Rice overnight in fridge
Garlic
Shallot
Green onion, plenty
Scrambled egg
Lemongrass
Hot red pepper
Pinch of 5 spice as a cheap substitute? (need to google a bit to be sure)
Sweet soy sauce (1 cup soy, 1 cup brown sugar cooked down a bit)
Missing something here but cant place it, it'll get figured out after more googling
Might even throw in a bit of oyster sauce to fill things out in light of my lack of actual Balinese spices
Either way, this dish IS going to kick some ass, and thats a promise

From the fried rice thread. My friend's mom learned to make hers while her husband worked for GM in Singapore.
Your best bet for your spice conundrum is to track down some shrimp paste. Go to the right Asian market and they'll have it and Tamarind paste as well.

The shrimp paste and chili give it a spicy umami. If you like those base flavors, all the various vegetables and shrimp and all aren't mandatory. Sometimes I just make it with some onion and chicken breast [or even ground beef] if I don't have a lot on hand. [you do need the garlic ginger and soy, though. Of course]
