Rica-rica

Rica-rica, sometimes shortened to rica, is a hot and spicy bumbu, or spice mixture, from the Minahasan and Gorontalo regions of North Sulawesi, Indonesia, used to cook chicken, meat, or seafood. The mixture is built from chopped or ground red and green chili peppers, bird's eye chili, shallots, garlic, ginger, and a little salt and sugar, cooked in coconut oil and finished with lime leaf, bruised lemongrass, and lime juice. In Indonesia it also serves as a popular seasoning for barbecued meat, seafood, or chicken.
