Ingredients:

  • 1-3 hot red chili peppers
  • 1/4 cup cashew nuts
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons palm sugar
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • Handful of toasted cashew nuts for garnish

Instructions:

Step Description
1 Combine the onion, garlic, chili peppers, cashew nuts, lemon juice, soy sauce, palm sugar, light brown sugar, and fresh ginger in an electric blender or food processor. Blend until it forms a smooth paste.
2 Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Saute the chicken until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.
3 Add the blended mixture to the skillet and cook uncovered for another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
4 Pour in the coconut milk and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the chicken uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
5 Once done, garnish with toasted cashew nuts for an added crunch and flavor.

Serving Suggestions:

Ayam Bali is best served hot and pairs perfectly with steamed rice or noodles to soak up the delicious sauce. You can also serve it alongside a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.

Tips:

  • Adjust the amount of chili peppers according to your spice preference. For a milder version, use fewer peppers.
  • Feel free to substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts if desired, for a richer flavor.
  • Toasting the cashew nuts before garnishing enhances their nutty flavor and adds a delightful crunch to the dish.
  • Make extra sauce to drizzle over your rice or noodles for an extra burst of flavor.
