Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Chicken | 250 grams |

| Tempe | 1 block |
| Ginger | 1 piece |
| Garlic | 2 cloves |

Instructions
- Begin by slicing the garlic and shallots, then crushing the ginger and leaving the chilies whole. Heat oil in a pan and sauté these aromatics until fragrant.
- Clean and cut the chicken into pieces. Add the chicken and tempe, which has been diced, into the pan with the sautéed aromatics.
- Stir-fry until the chicken turns pale, then pour in the water along with the sweet spicy soy sauce, salt, pepper, seasoning, and a bit of sugar (avoid adding too much sugar as the coconut milk is already slightly sweet). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Allow the mixture to cook until the water has reduced slightly and the chicken is cooked through, letting the spices penetrate the meat.
- Finally, add the coconut milk, taste once more, and let it simmer until the mixture reaches a gentle boil.
- Your Semur Ayam Tempe is now ready to be served! Enjoy this rich and flavorful dish with rice. 😊
