Bali Chicken - Ayam Bali
- 4 chicken breasts
- 3 medium shallots
- 2 garlic cloves
- 4 candle nuts (aka Kemiri nuts)
- 2 inches ginger
- 2 -5 teaspoons sambal oelek (a type of chill paste)
- 1 -5 red chili pepper, if you can not find Sambal Ulek or would like the dish a little spicier
- 1 (13 1/2 ounce) can coconut milk
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ketjap manis, aka Sweet Soy Sauce the brand ABC is a popular brand where I live
- 1. Heat some oil in a large, deep frying pan and brown the chicken on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- 2. While the chicken is cooking place the shallots, garlic, candle nuts, ginger and the sambal ulek/red chilli peppers in a chopper/blender. Puree all the ingredients.
- 3. In the same frying pan stir fry the puree for 5 minutes. Doesn't that smell amazing?.
- 4. Add the coconut milk and kecap manis and stir to combine. Then add the the chicken. Simmer for 30-60 min until tender. The sauce will thicken as it simmers.
- 5. Serve hot with some sticky rice. Enjoy!
