Rendang Chicken or Meat

  1. Ingredients:
    • 1pc broiler chicken or 600 g beef shank, sliced
    • 5 clove garlic
    • 7 pc shallots
    • 5 pc candlenuts
    • 8 pc curly red chili
    • 2 pc red chili
    • 3 cm ginger
    • 80 ml coconut oil
    • 2 stalk lemongrass, slice and pound
    • 1 pc galangal, slice and pound
    • 5 pc Kaffir lime leaf
    • 2 pc turmeric leaf
    • 1 pc pandan leaf
    • 3 pc bay leaf
    • 500 ml water
    • 500 ml thick coconut milk
  2. Dry Seasonings:
    • 1 tbsp coriander powder
    • 2 tsp white pepper powder
    • 2 tsp cumin powder
    • ¼ tsp cinnamon powder
    • 1 tsp nutmeg powder
    • 1 tsp star anise powder
    • 1 tsp cardamom powder
    • 1 tsp clove powder
    • 1 tsp chili powder
  3. Others:
    • ½ tbsp salt
    • 2 tsp sugar
    • 1 tsp mushroom stock powder
  4. Steps:
    • Blend the shallots, garlic, candlenuts, red chili, curly red chili, and ginger with the coconut oil.
    • Mix the meat with the dry seasonings evenly. Massage the meat so the seasonings are absorbed well. Alternatively, add some salt and marinate the meat overnight.
    • Heat the pan and sauté the spice blend. Add the lemongrass, galangal, bay leaves, Kaffir lime leaves, turmeric leaves, and pandan leaf in. Don’t let it get too reduced, then add the marinated meat in until it’s well-toasted. Then, add the coconut milk and water. Mix well.
    • Season with salt, sugar, and mushroom stock powder. Bring to a boil on medium heat, then lower the heat and cover the pan. Stir once in a while and cook until the sauce is reduced.
    • When the water is almost fully reduced, cook the Rendang on low heat. Keep stirring until it is completely reduced and until the sauce sticks onto the meat.
    • Rendang is ready to serve or to keep in an airtight container in the fridge.
