Nasi Tim Ayam

Description:
I forgot where I got this recipe. Perhaps from a friend in Germany. Anyway, the ingredients are easy to get here, and the result is always, guaranteed, successful. I always cook this dish in a rice cooker (the 'lazy' method), and for the soup, I usually add (Chinese) meatball or wan tan and pak choi and spring onion in the soup. Very filling and healthy - with all those garlic and ginger. - Tita

Ingredients:
1) to cook the chicken you need:
1 tbsp frying oil (plain sunflower oil will do)
1 tbsp sesame oil
3 garlic cloves, finely ground
2 cm ginger, finely ground
500 gr chicken meat, cut into 1cm blocks
2 tbsp kecap asin*
1 sdm kecap manis*
100 gr straw mushroom (or any mushroom you prefer), sliced

2) to season the rice you need:
2 tbsp frying oil
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 garlic clove, finely ground
1 cm ginger, finely ground
1 tbsp kecap asin*
250 gr uncooked rice

3) to cook the soup you need:
1 tbsp frying oil
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 garlic cloves, finely ground
1 cm ginger, finely ground
1250 ml chicken broth (i usually mix it with pork or mushroom broth)
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tsp kecap asin*
3 spring onion, finely sliced
i usually add baso (meatball: can be beef, fish, shrimp or squid) and pangsit (wan tan) in the soup. cook them in the soup until the broth boils.

*preferably indonesian brand of kecap asin and kecap manis (ABC, cap tukang jual sate, cap bangau, etc.) because these are really manis and really asin.

Directions:
1) to cook the chicken:
- heat the oil, add garlic & ginger until fagrant
- add chicken blocks until the color changes
- add kecap asin, kecap manis, mushroom. stir well.
- set aside

2) to season the rice:
- heat the oil, add garlic & ginger until fragrant
- add kecap asin, then add the rice
- stir evenly until all grains of rice is evenly coated with the oil
- set aside

3) to cook the soup:
- heat the oil, add garlic & ginger
- add chicken broth, pepper and kecap asin
- to serve, add sliced spring onion

if you have a rice cooker, then you can do it the 'lazy' way:
- put the cooked chicken at the bottom of the rice cooker container
- put the seasoned (uncooked) rice on top of the chicken
- add soup water in it, twice the volume of the rice
- turn the rice cooker on, wait until it's cooked
- serve with the rest of the soup on the side

if you don't have any rice cooker:
- prepare small heat-resistant bowls
- spoon 1 tbsp of the cooked chicken into the bottom of the bowl
- add 3 tbsp of seasoned (uncooked) rice
- add ±100 ml broth in the bowl
- steam for about 1-1,5 hour or until rice is cooked
- serve with the rest of the soup
