Nyonya Salad Chicken - Kerabu Chicken


We all love this signature dish of my grandma, it is a typical Nyonya dish and a healthy dish. No fuss of cooking is required here, it is just exactly how we make a salad. The main ingredients are shredded chicken, black fungus and mix in a unique dressing of pounded chilly, roasted shrimp paste and lime juice plus kerisik (fried pounded grated coconut). It is a typical Nyonya salad, taken as an appetizer or act as a dish to be taken with rice.



This is a simple process of making the "kerisik" or roasted grated coconut **






All you need :
  • 1 pc chicken breast meat
  • 3 black fungus (bok nee) - soak and cut into fine strips
  • 10 shallots - cut into fine slices
  • 5 red chillies - pounded with 1 thumbsize roasted shrimp paste
  • 6 lime - extract juice
