Bubur ayam is one of Indonesia’s best-loved street breakfasts, made by simmering rice in plenty of water until it becomes a soft porridge, then topping it with shredded chicken. Crispy fried onions add a contrasting texture. Sold from morning until midnight at street stalls, it is enjoyed for breakfast or as a late-night meal.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Cook the rice into a porridge

25 min

Bring the rinsed rice, water, ginger, and salt to a boil in a pot. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until the rice has broken down into a porridge.

2

Fry the onion

8 min

Heat the sunflower oil and fry the sliced onion until crisp and golden. Transfer it to paper towels.

3

Add the chicken

2 min

Distribute the shredded chicken breast over the porridge.

4

Serve

2 min

Divide the porridge among bowls, top with the crispy onion and scallions, and serve hot.

Reminder

Stir the rice frequently as it simmers; rice that settles on the bottom can stick and leave a scorched smell.
