As being an engineer is sometimes about “trial and error”, right now I’d like to do *trial and error* in cooking. Working here in France made me missed Indonesian’s food a lot. Luckily, here we have a few Asian stores selling ingredients quite *similar* with ours back home eventhough sometimes we used to improvise a bit due to material incompatibility 😉
This time, I made a chicken porridge so called “bubur ayam” in Indonesian. We usually eat this food sometimes for our breakfast. Yeah, europeans quite have a surprise knowing that we’ve ate this big-portion-kind-of-food already in the morning. Here I note the recipe how I made by using ingredients which are available in France.
- Boil water, put 1 cube of Knorr chicken and 1/4 chicken wings or breast into the boiling water.
- Take the chicken out of the water and shred it into little pieces.
- Take out a glass of leftover water boiled with chicken aside. We will use this chicken broth to make the flavouring soup.
- To make a porridge: put 120g of rice into the boiled water leftover from the chicken. Normally, the water should be 3 times more than the amount of rice. If you like it more thick or liquid type of porridge, you can adjust by adding some more water. Don’t forger to stirr it frequently.
- Boil an egg in a cold-salt-water for around 20 minutes. Peel the skin and slice it thin.
- Put into blender to make smooth spices: 2 stick of lemongrass, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 tea spoon of turmeric (powder), 1 tea spoon of coriandre (powder), some red spices.
- To make a flavouring soup: heat 2 spoon of oil in a frying pan and put the smooth spices created in step 5. Stirr it up until it smells good. Put some chicken broth and mix it well.
Now we’ve got all to make a bowl of chicken porridge. Get a bowl and put the porridge with chicken, eggs, slices of scallion, krupuk. According to your taste, put some maggie soya souce, sweet soya sauce/kecap manis ABC.
All of those ingredients can be bought in Carrefour and asian stores. Well, here it is my chicken porridge! Bon appetite. 🙂
