PEPES AYAM ( Steam Chicken wrapped in banana leaves )

This November 'Masak Bareng' menu is Pepes Ayam or steamed chicken wrapped in banana leaves.

The event is hosted by Dheeta and friends.

I am not good at cooking but I tried to make this pepes my way, as I don't really know how to make it. But luckily my son like it. So here is the recipe...

Ingredients :

Chicken fillet

Banana Leaves

Lemongrass

Daun Salam ( salam leaves)

Ground Spices :

Shallots

Garlics

Candlenuts

Turmeric

Chili (optional) --- I don't use it

salt and sugar to taste

How to make :

- cut chicken in cubes, blend with the ground spices.

- Put 2 spoonfull of the chicken to banana leaves, add lemongrass and salam leaves

- Steam about 30 minutes and serve hot.

I grill the pepes after steamed to make it tastier.

You may serve it with sayur asam and since this pepes is for my children I do not add chili in it so I just serve with sambal belacan.

enjoy....
