anyone has cooked something similar to this Ayam Pongteh?

1/4 cup oil = ? ml or tbsp
1/4 cup taucheo = ? ml or tbsp
3 cups water = ? ml

Many thanks for the advice.

I cook that pretty often. Both chicken and pork version. But mine is simplified as I do not add other spices. Shallots, garlic and taucheo is all I add. I will also mash the taucheo so that it blends into the gravy and omit any sugar as I do not like my food to be sweet.

1/4 cup is approx 4tbsp. As for the water, add enough to cover the meat and potato to let it simmer.

When serving, I will break and drop a couple of green chilli or chilli padi into dish.

Hi Jennifer,

I've tried out this recipe before and it's really yummy. Kids and hubby loved it. The measurements are standard. 1 cup = 250ml, 1 tbsp = 15 ml. This is a very friendly chicken stew.

I personally prefer Chef Wan's version as he adds more \"liao\" into it, like star anise and cloves. He also added some chilli padi for that extra \"kick\".

Hope this helps!

:thankyou:

Should I use kampong chicken, normal chicken or chicken thighs???[/quote]Up to you.

Hi Buds & Jennifer,


Chef Wan's recipe can be found in this link http://www.asianfoodchannel.com/bestwan/viewrecipe.php?id=20. Love his cooking style as we are peranakans who simply cannot live without chilli. Haha, am now \"training\" my 6 year old to eat chilli! :rahrah:


I would prefer to use chicken thighs as they get softer while stewing as compared to the breast meat. No need to use kampung chicken, it will be a waste to the chicken as the sauce is rich and would cover the delicate taste of the chicken. Ordinary chicken would do fine!

Jennifer, BPP now got PUNGGOL Nasi Padang? Which level? Few weeks back, was at J.Cube at Jurong East (near MRT) and saw one PUNGGOL Nasi Padang outlet but only had Teh Tarik. We didn't know there was one there so we had KFC at the top level while watching an ice hockey match with the boys. Hubs prefers a filling lunch when we are out if given a choice, instead of fast food.


He likes the spicy coconut gravy (lemak cili api/padi) and the sambal veg which I've learnt to cook as well. The same spicy coconut gravy in nyonya style will have the buah keluak, like in their ayam buah keluak.

Appreciate it! :please:

PS : hopbophop, hubs likes breast.. in fact all of us do. To shorten any cooking time with chicken parts I halve the thicker breast meat portions. Simmering under medium fire if for a big pot so all the flavourful juices are soaked into the chicken parts inside out.

Hubby is brought up eating fresh chicken from Msia. He is always saying Sg chicken is disappointing (which I also agree).

I find chickens sold locally (regardless supermkt or wet mkt) do not hv the sweet taste.

Where do you buy the chicken?
