Ayam Sisit – Balinese Shredded Chicken


 

Ayam sisit is a flavorful Balinese dish featuring shredded chicken mixed with aromatic spices and coconut. Here's a recipe to make Ayam Sisit:

Ingredients:

  • 500g boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 4 kaffir lime leaves, thinly sliced
  • 2 lemongrass stalks, white parts only, bruised and finely chopped
  • 4 shallots, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 red chili peppers, thinly sliced (adjust according to your spice preference)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon shrimp paste (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon tamarind paste dissolved in 2 tablespoons warm water
  • Banana leaves or aluminum foil (for wrapping, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Start by boiling the chicken breasts or thighs in water until fully cooked. Once cooked, shred the chicken into thin strips and set aside.

  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the shallots, garlic, lemongrass, and red chili peppers. Sauté until the shallots are soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. If using shrimp paste, add it to the skillet and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.

  4. Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, along with the ground turmeric, coriander, cumin, salt, and kaffir lime leaves. Stir well to combine and coat the chicken with the spices.

  5. Pour in the coconut milk and tamarind mixture. Stir everything together and let it simmer gently over low heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until the flavors meld together and the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust the seasoning if needed.

  6. If you prefer a drier consistency, you can continue cooking until most of the liquid has evaporated.

  7. Optionally, you can serve the Ayam Sisit wrapped in banana leaves or aluminum foil for added flavor and presentation.

  8. Serve the Ayam Sisit hot with steamed rice or alongside other Balinese dishes. Enjoy the rich and aromatic flavors of this traditional Indonesian dish!
