SEMUR AYAM KENTANG KECAP (CHICKEN POTATOES SMOOR)😍
INGREDIENTS
1 kg bone-in drumsticks You can use other cut of chicken
600 gr potatoes peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 Tbsp cooking oil
Water see instruction below for the amount
Grind ingredients:
1 small purple onion or 8 shallots
5 cloves garlic
1 inch fresh ginger
Seasonings:
4 Tbsp kecap manis
1 Tbsp soy sauce
¼ tsp ground white pepper
2 Tbsp coconut sugar or use brown sugar
1 tsp sugar
Salt to taste
HOW TO MAKE SEMUR AYAM FROM SCRATCH (STOVE TOP OR PRESSURE COOKER)
1. Place purple onions (or shallots), ginger, and garlic in food processor
2. Grind into fine pieces
COOKING (ON THE STOVE OR INSTANT POT)
1. Preheat cooking oil in a pot (or inner pot of Instant Pot)
2. Add the ground aromatics and stir fry until really fragrant, about 3 minutes
3. Add the chicken pieces
4. Add spices and herb (coriander powder, nutmeg powder, bay leaves)
5. Add seasonings (kecap manis, coconut sugar, salt)
6. Add liquid
For pressure cooker, I only add 1/4 cup of water. The chicken will let out lots of liquid too later. If you are cooking on the stove add about 4 cups of water
7. Pressure cook on high for 18 minutes (for large drumsticks) and then release pressure immediately after. For stove-top, bring to a boil and then lower the heat to let chicken simmer until cooked through, 20-30 minutes (depending on what cut of chicken you use)
8. 10 minutes before the end of cooking time on the stove, add in potato pieces. For pressure cooker, once you have release pressure, remove the chicken pieces to a serving platter, but keep the juices in the pot. Turn on saute mode and add potato pieces in and cook for another 10 minutes until potatoes are soft but not mushy
