This is my project of documenting food during my study in UK 2012/13 under Chevening Scholarship. Many friends have requested me to do this and I think it's a great project to pick up. Who says study abroad means instant noodles, fast food restaurants and eating out all the time? Who says that it has to be fancy, expensive and time consuming.... hehehe... let's break that with a little bit of TLC from your own kitchen.

Enjoy!

Semur Ayam // Braised Chicken in Sweet Soy Sauce



OK... semur ayam or Braised Chicken in Sweet Soy Sauce is the next simple cooking. all you need to have are... of course Chicken... hehehe... good Sweet soy sauce (just go to Asian Store) and Nutmeg. You can use the ground nutmeg in those small bottles but I prefer whole nutmeg that I crushed or grated... the smell and taste is much more fantastic. Reminds me so much of home, Ambon Island, Maluku Province, The Spice Island... OK... Here's the recipe

Ingredients:
  • 8 Chicken Wings - simply because it was cheap and also Tastier
  • 1/4 medium Onion, chopped 
  • 2 Garlics, Crushed and finely chopped
  • 1/2 Nutmeg, Crushed
  • 1/4 cup of Indonesian Sweet Soy Sauce 
  • 1/2 Stock cube, 
  • Salt and ground white pepper
  • 2 tbsp juice of lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp Vegetable cooking Oil

Directions:
  1. Heat the oil. Bring in the Onion and garlic. Sautee until soft and fragrant
  2. Add the Soy sauce and Nutmeg. Then stock cubes, salt and pepper.
  3. Put in the Chicken wings. Coat the chicken with the soy sauce evenly. Cover and let it cook for 5 minutes. 
  4. After 5 minutes add the lemon juice and if the chicken is not properly cook.. add about 1/4 cup of water. 
  5. Give it for final taste... then ready to serve. --
For me, it is best served with hot white rice and simple stir-fry
