How to cook Malaysian Nyonya Ayam Pongteh using Philips All in One Cooker? Easy steps!

 

Peranakan Ayam Pongteh (Chicken Pongteh) is a Nyonya dish in both Malaysia and Singapore. It is a marriage of Malay and Chinese cuisine. Palm sugar is commonly used in Malay dishes while Black bean paste or commonly known as Taucio is a common Chinese cooking ingredient. 

To elaborate a little, Pongteh is a dish where meat is braised together with potatoes. Ingredients to cook the gravy include fermented black bean paste (or commonly called taucu / taucio), light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar. Why is it called pongteh? Traditionally this dish is prepared using pork. ‘Pong’ is closely related to a Hokkien word ‘Hong’ which means stew in soy sauce. ‘Teh’ means pig trotters in Hokkien.

These days, this dish is commonly prepared using chicken, thus the word ‘Ayam’ which means chicken in Malay Language. 

Undeniably, this dish is very delicious. It is also very easy to prepare and can be done in 30 minutes.

How to make Air Fried Belacan Fried Chicken for Healthier Nasi Lemak?

Today we celebrated Monday the start of the week with a power Malaysian dinner. The powerful platter consisted of Crispy Fried Chicken with sides of white rice, sambal belacan (shrimp paste), fried anchovies, boiled eggs and blanched green beans. 

Hubby approved my belacan fried chicken. It was the bomb because firstly, chicken thigh is the yummiest part of the whole chicken (in our opinion). Secondly, the chicken thigh were very well fried by my airfryer. Most importantly, it is totally guiltless as it is air-fried, which means very little or no oil was used! In fact, it was so good even the little one finish a piece of fried chicken thigh all by herself.
