- Salt to taste
- Water for boiling
For the Sambal Matah:
- 10 shallots, thinly sliced
- 5 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
- 10 red bird's eye chilies, thinly sliced (adjust to taste)
- 3 stalks of lemongrass, thinly sliced (white part only)
- 5 kaffir lime leaves, finely sliced
- 2 teaspoons of toasted shrimp paste (terasi), crumbled
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 4 tablespoons of coconut oil, heated
Instructions:
Preparing the Shredded Chicken:
Boil the Chicken: In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add the chicken, bruised lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, bay leaf, and a pinch of salt. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the chicken using two forks or your hands. Set aside.
Preparing the Sambal Matah:
Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the thinly sliced shallots, garlic, red bird's eye chilies, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and crumbled toasted shrimp paste.
Season and Mix: Add the lime juice, salt, and sugar to the mixture. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Add Coconut Oil: Heat the coconut oil until it is hot but not smoking. Pour the hot coconut oil over the sambal mixture. This will slightly cook the ingredients and enhance the flavors. Mix everything well.
Assembling Ayam Suir Sambal Matah:
Combine Chicken and Sambal: Add the shredded chicken to the sambal matah and toss to coat the chicken thoroughly with the sambal.
Serve: Serve the Ayam Suir Sambal Matah with steamed rice and fresh vegetables such as cucumber slices and tomato wedges. Garnish with fresh herbs like basil or cilantro if desired.
Enjoy your flavorful and aromatic Ayam Suir Sambal Matah, a perfect combination of tender chicken and zesty sambal!
