Bite Sizes Lemper Ayam Sushi ( Glutinous Rice with shredded corriander chicken )

Sticky fluffy rice, sweet-savory shredded chicken and fragrant aromatic spices are what make this Lemper Ayam or glutinous rice with shredded chicken taste so good. You can find this anywhere of course in Indonesia especially traditional market. I made it in bite-sizes like sushi, traditionally it wrapped in banana leafs and baked.

3. Add steamed glutinous rice to coconut milk mixture, mix it until incorporated, put it back on the steamer, steam for another 15minutes.

4. After cooked, set aside.


Filling shredded coriander chicken:

1. In a pot add water, lemongrass, bay leaf, lime kafir leaves, let it boil, after boiling add chicken breast, let it cook for 20minutes. Let it cool cut and shredding the meat. ( don't throw away the chicken stock)
2. Blend garlic clover, candlenut, coriander,pepper and add a little water so it blends easier in the blender.
3. In a pan heat oil, saute blended coriander mixture and lemongrass stalk, after a couple of minutes add shredded chicken, coconut milk, chicken stock, sugar, and salt, reduce the heat mix all the coconut milk is absorbed into the chicken.
