Cuisine : Nasi Katok - How to prepare this popular dish of Brunei

 





Nasi Katok is a popular dish from Brunei, consisting of plain rice served with fried chicken and a simple chili dipping sauce. Here's how to prepare it:


Ingredients:

- White rice

- Chicken pieces (typically chicken breast or thigh)

- Salt

- Cooking oil (for frying)

- For the chili dipping sauce:

  - Red chilies (quantity according to taste preference)

  - Garlic cloves

  - Salt

  - Water

  - Lime juice (optional, for added tanginess)


Instructions:


1. **Cook the Rice**: Prepare the white rice according to your preferred method, whether it's using a rice cooker, stovetop, or any other method you prefer. Once cooked, keep the rice warm.


2. **Prepare the Chicken**: Season the chicken pieces with salt according to your taste preference. Heat cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken pieces and fry until they are golden brown and cooked through. Make sure to cook the chicken until it's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.


3. **Make the Chili Dipping Sauce**: In a blender or food processor, combine the red chilies, garlic cloves, salt, and a little water. Blend until you achieve a smooth consistency. Adjust the amount of water and salt according to your taste preference. If desired, add a splash of lime juice for extra tanginess.


4. **Serve**: To serve Nasi Katok, place a portion of plain rice on a plate or in a banana leaf wrapper. Add a piece or two of fried chicken on top of the rice. Serve the chili dipping sauce on the side in a small bowl.


5. **Enjoy**: To eat Nasi Katok, simply dip the fried chicken into the chili sauce and enjoy it with the plain rice. The combination of the crispy fried chicken and spicy chili sauce is what makes this dish so delicious and satisfying.


Nasi Katok is often sold as a street food dish in Brunei and is known for its simplicity and affordability. It's a beloved comfort food enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.
