Good Morning!
I have been having fun watching birds visiting through my birdcam, so am a bit slow in sharing cooking/baking recipe(s) these days 😅
I haven't even updated my recipe site and I was like, holy moly, I need to add 18 (new) recipes to my site. They were shared on YouTube and/or Hive.blog alrrady, but not yet to my own website 😅
Anyhoo!
This following dish is basing on Indonesian food called Semur Ayam. The difference is that, in my household I use common bay leaf, ghee, and vinegar. In Indonesia, we don't use them for our Semur Ayam. So maybe I should say Semur Ayam Canada style? 🤣
Semur Ayam is normally sweet btw, and that's the main thing about this dish, sweet braised chicken 😊
1 onion
2 tbsp ghee
5 garlic
16 pieces of chicken thighs
1 L hot boiling water
2 bay leaves
2 beef cubes
2 tbsp vinegar
3 tbsp sweet soy sauce
Freshly cracked pepper
Thinly slice garlic and onion, saute them in ghee for a minute or two, until fragrant
Stir in chicken pieces and coat nicely with the ghee, cook for 2 minutes
Pour in hot boiling water and add in bay leaves, beef cubes, and vinegar. Cook covered on medium heat for 20 minutes, until chicken cooked through
Stir in sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), and season with freshly cracked black pepper
You can thicken the broth if you'd like to, by stirring in flour or starch solution, if not, leave it as is
Serve with warm rice
