I have been missing home and craving for food from home despite just recently completed a Malaysian week at the tummies. I decided to cook another of my nanny Fatimah's family recipe and the aromas that perfumated the whole kitchen made me feel a whole lot better immediately. This is almost like a Malay version of the popular Chinese red cooked dishes, both are soy base with the addition of star anise and cassia bark. I have seen version with added peas, again I refused to alter the recipe since this is how it should look and taste to me.
P.S beef can be used but it will need to be braised til tender.
Serve 4 as part of a Malaysian meal
you'll need;
3 chicken maryland, cut into 4 pieces each
1/2 an onion, finely chopped
1 onion, cut into rounds
2 green chillies, sliced
2" piece of ginger, minced
6 cloves of garlic, minced
1 star anise
1 cassia bark or cinnamon stick
8 tbs of kecap manis (sweet soy)
6 tbs of light soy
2 tbs of ground black pepper
1 cup of chicken stock or water
salt to taste
juice of one lime
Marinate chicken pieces with dash of salt and turmeric powder for at least an hour.
Fry chicken til golden, set aside.
Fry minced onion til golden then add in the minced garlic and ginger, star anise and cassia bark. Continue to fry for a minute or two.
Add seasonings follow by stock or water, bring it to a boil.
Return chicken pieces to the wok and braise for 8 to 10 minutes. Add onion rounds and sliced chillies and continue to fry til onion rounds are soften and sauce has thicken. Add juice of a lime and check for seasonings.
Serve immediately as part of a Malaysian meal.
Delicioso!!

ReplyDeleteI haven't had this for ages! I can imagine the smell in your kitchen!
ReplyDeleteReading your blog is like an education. I had no idea that there was a Malay-take on soy chicken! I guess the tumeric and chillis set it apart. As always, it looks stunning.
ReplyDeleteYum. Yum. Yum.
ReplyDeleteI can't think of anything else to say!
Best wishes,

petang tadi makcik sempat membaca n3 anda yang terdahulu dan jika tak silap ada 2 atau lebih anda manyebut nama nanny fatimah tentu dia sangat pandai memasak.ayam masak kicap merupakan menu kegemaran kami sekeluarga:)
ReplyDeleteI see turmeric on chicken! Just the way I like to pair them as one.
ReplyDeleteI always seem to miss hot, spicy Malaysian food when the weather starts getting cold. I love this dish too - spent a few years at a local uni and almost every dinner was some sort of yummy Malay dish from the cafeteria, this was a regular fav. :)
ReplyDelete又一道好菜,你來我家煮好嗎?
ReplyDeletemakcikmanggis,
ReplyDeleteMakcik kak Timah memang pintar in dapur, kebanyakan resipi masakan Melayu saya yang dia punya. Pasti kegemaran sekeluaga kerana lauk ni tidak pedas ya :) Say juga mau cuba risipi makcik nanti.

Oh yes! turmeric fried chicken is one of my favourite dishes!

Oh I do miss eating Malay cafeteria :) It is getting pretty chilly at night now.
