This is a simple way to prepare chicken, or any meat really, like pork, beef, or even fish and tofu. The sauce is what makes the dish delicious. It is sweet, sour, spicy, salty, all kind of flavors mingle together to gently coat the lightly pan fried protein of your choice. Sometimes, I make double […]
Chicken Recipes
Ayam Bakar Semur – Broiled Chicken in Nutmeg and Sweet Soy Sauce
This is another version on the ever popular ayam semur, ayam bakar semur. The original version of ayam semur is full of sauce, but in this version, we cook until the sauce is almost gone and very thick, then transfer the chicken to be broiled, while basting it with the sauce. If you prefer, you can […]
Miso Mayo Pan Fried Chicken
Here is an easy pan fried chicken recipe, marinated with miso, Japanese mayonnaise, and soy sauce. I prefer to use red miso for this, but white miso, or the combination miso is also just as good. You may want to try using different kind of miso to find out which one you prefer the most.
Thai Spicy Coriander Chicken
This is a quick and easy chicken breast stir fry using store bought Thai sweet chili sauce. Pairing this with tomato slices and a bit of tomato ketchup mellow the sauce slightly, bringing it close to sweet and sour sauce, but with a super spicy kick due to the use of the chili sauce and […]
Ayam Suwir Santan – Shredded Chicken in Coconut Milk
If you have ever tried nasi liwet from Solo, you know that ayam suwir santan is one of the absolute must have sides in the nasi liwet combo. Other must have sides include telur pindang, telur areh, and labu siam tumis. Just as the rest of the sides, you can prepare this as a stand […]
Chicken and Black Bean Stir Fry
If you can get your hand on fermented black soy bean (Chinese: 豆豉), you can make black bean sauce dishes without having to buy bottled black bean garlic sauce, though the later one is of course what is more readily available. The good part about using fermented black soy bean is that you can control how much […]

Ayam Bakar Taliwang – Lombok Grilled Chicken
There are many varieties of ayam bakar (grilled chicken) throughout Indonesia. Though they all have “grilled” in the name, the main cooking method is more cooking in spice broth until the chicken is tender and fully cooked and all the flavor has been absorbed by the chicken, and then just prior to serving, they are […]

Ayam bekakak is Javanese grilled chicken served in festive occasions like weddings and sunatan (circumcision). This is one of the many ayam panggang (grilled chicken) recipe scattered across the country.

Ozoni (お雑煮) is Japanese soup with mochi rice cakes. This soup is traditionally prepared as part of osechi or Japanese New Year dishes. There is no de facto recipe for ozoni since most household will have their own recipe as to what should be included in the soup. The zo (雑) means miscellaneous, so you are […]
Baked Honey Soy Sauce Chicken Wings
When the temperature dips, I love busying myself in the kitchen because: (1) baking is easy, mostly prep work, and the rest, I can sit back and relax with a cup of hot coffee while the oven does its thing, and (2) since I am using the oven, the temperature in the house will definitely […]
Baked Chicken Thigh with Kecap Manis
Another of my super easy recipe when I am super lazy to cook and just want to throw together enough ingredients to call it a recipe 😀 But, I hope this counts since it definitely tastes good even with just 5 ingredients! Chicken thighs, kecap manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce), tomato ketchup, sesame oil, and […]
Spice Rub Pan Fried Chicken
If you are like me, you probably have a healthy stock of dry spices in your pantry. I tried to buy smaller quantity of spices since they do lose their potency over time. To make sure that I don’t throw away my spices, I sometimes make simple spice rub to my pan fried chicken, like this […]
Thai Pan Fried Garlic and Cilantro Chicken
This is one of my favorite way to prepare skinless boneless chicken breasts. I usually buy my chicken breasts in bulk from Costco, the one that come in six pouches. They tend to be rather thick, so for making pan fried chicken like this, I start by butterflying the breast, so I end up with half […]
Thai Pan Fried Basil Chicken
I have been making pan fried chicken breasts from college days. Most of the times, I just do a simple salt, pepper, flour treatment, and I love them like that. But sometimes, I will marinate them overnight in simple sauce like this one and they will turn out amazing.
Soto Ayam Kediri – Kediri Chicken Soup
All right, it’s time for another Indonesian soto. As an Indonesian, I have lost count of how many varieties of soto we have.

Jiaozi – Chinese Dumplings
Jiaozi (饺子) or Chinese dumplings are the one dish that one can find in almost all Chinese restaurants. I think the pan fried version, a.k.a pot stickers, is almost always more popular than the one cooked with broth, and I can totally understand since I too have a soft spot for fried food 🙂 But, don’t […]
