Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, coconut milk, water, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs with 0.5 teaspoon salt, turmeric powder, minced garlic, and sliced red chili pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken.
Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil.
Add the smashed lemongrass stalk to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes to release the aroma.
Add the spinach leaves and julienned carrot to the skillet. Season with 0.25 teaspoon salt and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 3-4 minutes.
To assemble the Nasi Campur, divide the cooked rice among four plates.
Slice the chicken thighs and arrange them on top of the rice.
Add the sautΓ©ed spinach and carrots on the side of each plate.
Top each serving with a fried egg and sprinkle with a tablespoon of fried shallots.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish before eating.
