Sambal Goreng Liver Potatoes

Sambal Goreng Ati Kentang is an Indonesian side dish that is rich in aroma and makes for a great addition to rice: cleaned chicken liver is cooked with diced fried potatoes, stinky beans, and a spicy ground spice mix. Bay leaves, lime leaves, lemongrass, galangal, and ginger provide a strong aroma of spices, while brown sugar and a little coconut milk create a savory-sweet flavor balanced with a spicy sensation.

Shredded Chicken Serundeng

grated coconut fried to a golden hue blends harmoniously with the tender shredded chicken. Each piece of serundeng brings a balance of sweetness from the brown sugar, a touch of sourness from the tamarind juice, and the warmth of the spices—shallots, garlic, red chilies, cayenne pepper, turmeric, and coriander—that permeate throughout. The fragrance of lime leaves, galangal, and lemongrass envelops the overall aroma, creating an alluring tropical fragrance. The flavor is a dance of textures: crunchy, savory, and fragrant, with layers of complex flavors—sweet, savory, spicy, and fresh—perfect for accompanying warm rice or as a relaxing snack. This dish redefines a classic, remaining familiar yet leaving a deep flavor trail.
