Ingredients

  • 100 grams minced chicken
  • 3 shallots, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Sugar, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Water, as needed
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

Instructions

  1. Begin by heating oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the potato chunks and fry until they are half-cooked and golden. Remove them from the pan and drain on paper towels.

  2. In the same pan, sauté the finely chopped shallots and minced garlic until they are fragrant and translucent.

  3. Add the minced chicken to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully browned and cooked through.

  4. Pour in the soy sauce and sweet soy sauce, stirring well to coat the chicken. Allow it to cook for a few more minutes.

  5. Add enough water to the pan to create a sauce, then season with salt, sugar, and black pepper to taste. Stir to combine and adjust the seasoning as needed.

  6. Gently fold in the pre-fried potato chunks. Cook until the potatoes are tender and have absorbed some of the flavors from the sauce.

  7. Serve the dish hot, and enjoy a delicious blend of savory and sweet flavors with perfectly cooked potatoes and minced chicken.

This delightful recipe offers a harmonious mix of savory chicken and sweet soy sauce, complemented by tender potatoes. Perfect for a comforting meal any day of the week!
