2020 just came! In my family tradition, we usually celebrate New Year Eve with barbecuing. This year I cooked for my family because I back to my hometown 😁Ayam Bakar (Grilled Chicken) is our favorite dish! It's also popular dish in Indonesia. There are some type of Ayam Bakar, but my favorite one is Ayam Bakar Kecap.I'm amazingly surprised and feel happy, because my family loves this recipe and it's gone pretty fast 😂

Sweet, savory, and a little bit spicy chicken best served with rice

This is one of my favourite chicken dishes. Reminds me of the good old days when I used to cook this at home. Its sweet and flavourful taste will melt in your mouth. 😋

‘Ayam Bakar’ is an Indonesian or Malaysian dish of charcoal-grilled chicken. The chicken is usually marinated with the mixture of different kinds spices such as garlic, shallot, chili pepper, tamarind juice, galangal, turmeric, ginger, bay leaf, candle nuts, and sweet soy sauce. ‘Ayam Bakar’ is usually served with ‘sambal trasi’ (Indonesian chili sauce - I’ll share the recipe in my next post 😊) and slices of cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce.Every region in Indonesia has their own special kind of ‘Ayam Bakar’. The one I’m posting now is a Javanese Ayam Bakar. It uses a lot of sweet soy sauce. I’ll try to share some other ‘Ayam Bakar’ recipes from the other islands next time 😊Note: In this recipe I didn’t grill the chicken using a charcoal grill. Instead I used a grill pan. You can choose which one you prefer. It will still taste yummy 😋 IG @jenscookingdiary @jenscookdineandtravel

Chicken Thigh is my all time favorite meat because it's moist and juicy :)This recipe is a mixture of my favorite ingredients, and the sauce will make all binded together well, and it will be good side dish to eat with rice :)If you cannot find Shiso leaves, then Basil can be a good substitute :)

#mycookbookI am a porridge ‘super’ big fan since I was a kid. My mom always cooked me plain porridge with different kinds of side dishes at least 2-3 times a month. This Sweet Soy Sauce Minced Pork is one of the ‘must’ menus every time she made porridge. It doesn’t use a lot of various ingredients but it’s very flavorful 😋😋😋 If you like my recipes, please follow my Instagram @jenscookingdiary for the Indonesian recipes or @jenscookdineandtravel for the English recipes 🙏🏻😊😘

One of indonesian food i like ❤ it's "Gourami Asam Manis Pedas" the taste is little bit similar as chicken teriyaki.We serve it for our relatives today. My uncle's family came to my home. 😊

To make these a bit more healthy, I added okara! They're so delicious!When the sweet vinegar sauce is freshly made, it has a sharp taste, but after it has settled for some time, it becomes quite mellow and just right! Recipe by MPxo

I'm recording this here so I don't forget the recipe.Try not to touch the onions as they're cooking! They'll still taste good even if they break, but it's best if they don't. Coating them in a bit of katakuriko may help keep them from falling apart so easily! Recipe by Silvy1978
