It is for breakfast, lunch, dinner and also snack time in Indonesia.

Craving for an Indonesian noodles. Since I still have leftover cucumber pickles, let’s make chicken noodle.

Mie ayam (chicken noodles) is Indonesian comfort food. I never met Indonesian who doesnt like this food. It comes in many different versions depends on the cities. Bangkanese chicken noodle is way different with the one in Yogyakarta or Bandung. Different version has different recipe; like Yogyakarta version the chicken topping usually using lots spices like shallots, garlic, candlenut, corriander seeds, ginger, galangal, bay leaves, kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass and even some sellers could have put some curry powder too! Bangka version usually has more savoury taste and not using a lot spices similar with Chinese style. Not only different on the recipe, even how to serve the chicken could be different; whether using minced (chicken or mix pork), cubed, chopped or shredded. Also it could have some extra various topping, some people added bbq/roasted pork, soy sauce braised eggs/quail eggs, chicken feet, pokchoy, beansprout, wonton (fried/boiled), fish/meat ball, crab meat, fish cake etc depends on what type of chicken noodles you buy.Today i’m gonna share mie ayam ala Bandung (Bandung style).

This chili sauce is plain chili sauce without additional garlic, shallot or any spices ingredients. This chili sauce usually served along with Indonesian beef ball soup (basso), chicken noodle soup (mie ayam), oxtail soup (sup buntut), or any kind of soup. Very easy to make, and non frying chili sauce.

‘Soto’ is a traditional Indonesian soup. There are many different kinds of soto. One of favorite is called ‘Soto Ayam’ from Surabaya, the capital city of East Java. It has yellow color broth and is composed of chicken meat, mung bean vermicelli, hard boiled eggs, and topped with koya (a powder of mixed prawn crackers and fried garlic). Turmeric is added as one of the ingredients to get the yellow color of the chicken broth.

A dear friend sent us two big packages of dry noodles and I want to turn them into something delicious! You can use pasta if you like.

Soto ayam is one of my family favorite food. In Indonesian language, soto means soup and ayam means chicken. I always make this in a lazy way, using a slow cooker 😊 (very untraditional way to cook Soto Ayam in Indonesia). Please do not get intimidated by the long list of ingredients. It may not look much from the photo, but it is very delicious and incredibly flavorful.

Classified as Indonesian curry, gulai ayam is a traditional Indonesian dish of chicken in a spicy rich yellowish curry-like sauce. It is originally from West Sumatera, Indonesia.

As Indonesian who lives overseas and my house is located far away from the city, find Indonesian snacks is somewhat difficult. So, i try to make it by myself. I was using NCC recipe for my lemper ayam.

Misua (also spelled as mee sua or miswa) are very thin salted noodles made from wheat flour. They’re usually cooked on birthday celebrations which signifies long life in Chinese culture. Aside from that, misua soup is the best dish to be served when you have a sore throat. I remember my mom used to cook this for me (along with porridge, of course) when I was very young. It’s soft and easy to digest. And oh, by the way, it’s the best dish for wintertime as well! 😋#heirloomIf you like my recipes, please follow my Instagram @jenscookingdiary @jenscookdineandtravel

Very delicious dry wonton noodles served with mushroom and chicken feet cooked in a pot of soy sauce gravy. If you dont have chicken feet, can be replaced with BBQ pork, chicken or meat balls that goes well with the noodle.
