Ayam kecap

Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes

Ayam kecap is an Indonesian Javanese dish of chicken poached or simmered in kecap manis, a sweet soy sauce, along with shallots or onions, garlic, ginger, pepper, leek and tomato, with some versions adding nutmeg or cloves. It is common across both Indonesia and Malaysia and has Javanese-Chinese roots reflecting the historical influence of Chinese communities on soy sauce production in the archipelago, though the Indonesian dish is distinguished by using a sweet soy sauce made with palm sugar. A grilled variant made with boneless chicken fillets is known as ayam panggang kecap.
