Indonesian cuisine is one of the most vibrant and colorful cuisines in the world, full of intense flavor. It is diverse, in part because Indonesia is composed of approximately 6,000 populated islands of the total 18,000 in the world's largest archipelago, with more than 300 ethnic groups calling Indonesia their home. Many regional cuisines exist, often based upon indigenous culture and foreign influences. Indonesia has around 5,350 traditional recipes, with 30 of them considered the most important.

My today post is one of the famous İndonesian cuisine called Ayam bakar kecap. Ayam bakar literally means grilled chicken, kecap is sweet soy sauce. This sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) is one of the staple condiments in İndonesian cuisine especially in javanese cuisine. Traditionally the chicken grilled over charcoal and brushed with spiced kecap manis during the grilling process which gives more intense flavour.

In Java, ayam bakar usually tastes rather sweet because of the generous amount of sweet soy sauce either as marination or dipping sauce, while ayam bakar Padang, Bali, Lombok and most of Sumatra are usually spicier and more reddish in colour due to the generous amount of chilli pepper, turmeric and other spices, and the absence of sweet soy sauce.

Ayam bakar is usually served with sambal terasi (chilli sambal with terasi) or sambal kecap (sliced chilli and shallot in sweet soy sauce) as dipping sauce or condiment and slices of cucumber and tomato as a garnish as well as a side dish.

The process was actually quite simple. The chicken pieces are partially cooked in the spice mixture (bumbu)  in order for the chicken to absorb the spices. Also during the grilling process, the remaining spices are applied upon the chicken. 

For making ahead you can partially cook the chicken with marinate spice then keep in the refrigerator or freezer. Just bring to room temperature before grill them.

By the way you can use this bumbu / spices in this recipe for fish, but do not prior cook the fish just marinate the fish with the spices before grilling.

BAHASA İNDONESİA

İndonesia memang amat sangat kaya akan jenis kuliner. Mulai dari timur hingga Sabang di bagian barat İndonesia. Hal ini tidaklah mengherankan sebab İndonesia memiliki lebih dari 300 suku dengan berbagai ragam kuliner tradisionalnya.
Ditambah lagi oleh panjangnya sejarah bangsa kita yang juga mempengaruhi dan memperkaya kulinari kita.

Salah satu dari kekayaan kuliner kita adalah ayam bakar. Selain rendang dan nasi goreng yang mendunia, ayam bakar juga masuk dalam urutan makanan İndonesia yang patut dicoba ketika berkunjung ke İndonesia.

Ayam bakar (termasuk ikan bakar) sendiri mempunyai banyak ragam. Mulai dari ayam bakar taliwang dari dari Lombok atau ayam bakar khas Padang yang kaya akan rempah, juga hayam bakakak dari suku Sunda. Yang saya sebut itu hanya sebagian kecil ya.....
Yuk... perkaya cita rasa kita dengan keragaman kuliner Nusantara.

Kali ini saya ingin bagikan resep ayam bakar kecap. Cita rasa kecap manis dari ayam bakar jenis ini merupakan ciri khas makanan jawa yang mempunyai kecenderungan rasa manis.
Resep ini ala rumahan khas ibu saya. Oh iya, selain bisa untuk ayam bakar, bumbu ini juga bisa digunakan untuk ikan bakar lho...bedanya kalau pakai ikan cukup dilumuri bumbu perendam saja tanpa perlu dimasak dulu ikannya. Direndam lalu dibakar.

Yuk...boleh kalau mau coba juga di rumah.... Kali ini saya sandingkan ayam bakar kecap saya dengan sambal ulek terasi, walau kadang saya pakai sambal kecap. Resep sambal ulek nya bisa dilihat di link sambal ulek terasi sini.
