Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken:
Begin by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes. Rinse the pieces thoroughly under cold water. Next, place the chicken cubes into a pot and cover them with water. Bring the pot to a boil and cook the chicken until it is tender and fully cooked. Once done, remove the chicken from the pot and drain it well. -
Sauté the Seasoning:
Heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the instant rawon seasoning and sauté for a few minutes until the spices release their aromatic flavors and become fragrant. -
Combine Ingredients:
Add the cooked chicken cubes to the skillet with the sautéed seasoning. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly with the spices. Pour in a small amount of water to create a sauce, and continue to cook until the liquid reduces and thickens to your desired consistency. -
Adjust Seasoning:
Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the flavor is lacking, you can add a pinch of seasoning powder or salt to enhance the taste. For an extra layer of flavor, drizzle a small amount of sesame oil over the chicken and stir well. -
Serve:
Once the sauce has reduced and the chicken is well-coated with the rich rawon seasoning, your Ayam Bumbu Rawon is ready to be served. This aromatic and savory dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice and is perfect for a comforting meal.
