Begin by cutting the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

In the same pan, add the cubed tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside with the chicken and shrimp.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add minced garlic, chopped shallots, and sliced red chili. Stir-fry until fragrant and the shallots are translucent.
Push the aromatics to one side of the pan and crack the eggs into the cleared space. Scramble them and cook until just set.
Add the cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps using the back of a spoon. Mix everything well.
Add the soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, and fish sauce to the rice, stirring to coat evenly. Season with salt and ground white pepper.
