   • Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.

3. Sauté Onion and Garlic:

   • Stir-fry for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors.

5. Add Tomatoes and Soy Sauce:

   • Add the tomato wedges to the wok.

   • Pour in enough water to cover the chicken.
   • Sprinkle the ground nutmeg over the ingredients.

7. Simmer:

   • If the sauce seems too watery, let it simmer uncovered for a few minutes to allow excess water to evaporate.

   • Transfer the Smoor Ayam to a serving platter.

Tips:

• Substitute Potatoes: If you prefer, you can substitute some of the chicken with potatoes. Simply peel and dice the potatoes, then add them to the wok along with the chicken.

• Adjust Seasonings: Feel free to adjust the seasonings according to your taste preferences. You can add more soy sauce for a saltier flavor or increase the amount of ground nutmeg for a richer aroma.

• Garnish: For a pop of color and freshness, garnish the Smoor Ayam with chopped green onions or cilantro before serving.

• Make Ahead: This dish can be prepared ahead of time and reheated before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
