AYAM MASAK KICAP

I like my Ayam Masak Kicap (or simply Fried Chicken cooked with Soy Sauce) simple and uncomplicated, just as how life should be. I learnt how to make this when I was really young because it is truly simple to make and oh so delicious with a side of rice.

INGREDIENTS

  • 8-10 pieces of chicken (I use only thighs and drumsticks)
  • 3-4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 large potatoes (thinly sliced)
  • Oil for deep-frying
  • 2 large onions (roundly sliced)
  • 5 cloves of chopped/minced garlic
  • 1 & 1/2 cups of sweet soy sauce (I use the brand Habhal’s Sweet Soy Sauce)
  • Sliced chives/spring onions (optional)

HOW TO MAKE IT

  1. Marinade chicken pieces with turmeric powder and salt. Deep fry for 15 mins or until chicken pieces are cooked and the skin is golden and crispy. Set aside.
  2. In the same oil, deep fry thinly sliced potatoes until golden and crispy. Set aside.
  3. In a wok, heat up 1-2 cups of oil (you can re-use the same deep-frying oil) and sauté sliced onions and minced garlic until fragrant and slightly brown on the edges.
  4. Toss in fried chicken pieces, potatoes and soy sauce. Mix well until soy sauce has slightly caramelised.
  5. Add in chopped chives/spring onions. Mix well and serve immediately with a side of rice.
