Garang Asem Chicken with Coconut Milk ~ No Wrapping
📌 Rembang, February 28, 2024
This week's Balon challenge is a bit different. It involves cooking with two ingredients that start with the letters B, A, L, O, and N. I decided to make Garang Asem Chicken, using chicken and starfruit. This concludes the Balon Challenge for this week. Continuing into Ramadan. Wow... I am still diligent and consistent in submitting recipes every week. Even though I was "stuck" because some ingredients were hard to find, I managed to submit recipes for 25 weeks straight... yay, I'm proud ☺️🥰
Usually, garang asem is wrapped in banana leaves. But the banana leaves behind the house are still small, so I just used them as a base. It's more practical and saves time. This dish looks simple, but it has a lot of ingredients. However, for authentic and delicious taste, it's okay to add the ingredients one by one. Effort doesn't betray results. The savory, sour, and salty flavors are spot on. Give it a try... 🥰
