Certainly! Here’s the recipe for Ayam Kecap, rewritten for the Love With Recipes site:
Ayam Kecap: A Flavorful Indonesian Chicken Dish
Ingredients:
- 5 pieces of chicken
- 2 shallots
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1/2 tomato
- 1 piece of galangal (crushed)
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 kaffir lime leaf
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Additional soy sauce and seasoning sauce, as needed
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the chicken pieces until they are fully cooked and golden brown. Once done, remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
-
Prepare the Spice Mixture:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the shallots, garlic, and tomato. Blend until smooth.
- Heat a bit of oil in the same pan used for frying the chicken. Pour in the blended mixture and sauté until fragrant and the raw smell of the spices has dissipated.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Add the fried chicken back into the pan with the sautéed spices.
- Incorporate the crushed galangal, bay leaf, and kaffir lime leaf. Stir well.
- Add a splash of water, soy sauce, and seasoning sauce. Mix everything together.
-
Adjust Seasoning:
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors and the sauce to thicken slightly.
-
Serve:
- Once the chicken is well-coated with the rich, flavorful sauce and has absorbed the spices, remove from heat. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious, aromatic Ayam Kecap with steamed rice or as desired.
Enjoy your meal! 😊
