Rendang Chicken from Malaysia ??
While unable to travel even around my own home country ~ Malaysia, I actually craved for Rendang Chicken during the Movement Control Order (MCO) period, unsure my craving reason ?? Though I'm not a spicy foodie, however I love foods with spices& thick gravy. Lol...Ha...Ha...?❤
Rendang chicken is a spicy & spices stewed dish originated from Minangkabau, Indonesia. Specifically, this is a speciality of Batusangkar & Bukittinggi, Indonesia. Rendang not just to cook with chicken, it can be with beef (Rendang Beef), lamb (Rendang Lamb) etc. Read more via ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendang
In Malaysia ??, rendang dishes are traditionally served among the Malay community. So, whenever you're travelling across the different states around Malaysia, rendang dishes can be easily spotted at either roadside stalls, cafes or restaurants as well as a famous home cooking dish for the Malay, actually non Malay too. You can enjoy the rendang dish with steamed rice, noodles, bread etc. Hmm...The rendang cooking styles, ingredients & taste may be different from state to state within Malaysia. That's the unique cultures of Malaysians
Do enjoy this cooking vlog via https://youtu.be/YUrE1B30RxI which being captured (by Sienny Yong aka SiennyLovesDrawing) from my mum's home cooking of chicken rendang during MCO to ease my craving, yeah!! It's now much easier to prepare rendang dishes with ready to cook sauces in the market. In this vlog, my mum was using the Gillies Rendang from AYA Real Food (? https://ayarealfood.com/product/gillies-rendang-120g/). The sauce ingredients are Split Gill Mushroom, Coconut Milk, Onion, Oil, Sugar, Garlic, Coconut Paste, Lemongrass, Ginger, Galangal, Dried Chili, Salt, Turmeric Leaves, Lime Leaves & Spices
Whenever you're travelling to Malaysia, do remember to taste a rendang dish during your trip
