Ayam rica-rica
Ayam rica-rica is a traditional Indonesian dish, specifically from the North Sulawesi region. The name "rica-rica" refers to the spicy flavor of the dish, which is derived from the generous use of chili peppers. The main ingredient of this dish is chicken (ayam in Indonesian), which is cooked in a blend of spices and herbs.
Ingredients and Preparation[edit | edit source]
Ayam rica-rica is made by marinating chicken in a mixture of spices and herbs, which typically includes garlic, shallots, ginger, lemongrass, lime leaves, and a large amount of chili peppers. The chicken is then fried until it is browned, and the remaining marinade is added, along with water, and simmered until the chicken is fully cooked and the flavors are well combined.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
Ayam rica-rica is a popular dish in Indonesia, particularly in the North Sulawesi region. It is often served at celebrations and special occasions, and is a common dish in Indonesian street food culture. Despite its spiciness, it is enjoyed by people of all ages.
Variations[edit | edit source]
While chicken is the most common protein used in ayam rica-rica, the dish can also be made with other meats, such as duck or fish. Some versions of the dish may also include coconut milk for a richer flavor and creamier texture.
