How to make lemper ayam

A. Prepare the chicken floss filling

1. Heat oil in a wok and saute the lemper paste until fragrant, about 3 minutes.

2. Add lemongrass stalks, kaffir lime leaves, bay leaves and stir fry for another
2 minutes.
3. Add the shredded chicken meat, water, sugar, and salt.

4. Continue to saute until the liquid dries up. The filling should be dry. Have a
taste by adding more sugar and salt.

B. Prepare the glutinous rice

1. In a large wok or pan, add the rice, coconut milk, water, and the rest of the
ingredients for sticky rice. No oil is needed
2. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat to let it simmer and continue to stir
until the liquid is absorbed by the rice

3. Transfer the precooked rice to a steamer. I line the steamer rack with a
silicone mat that is especially made for steaming. Put the rice on top, spread
it out, and let it steam for 30 minutes or until the rice is soft and cooked
through. Remove and discard the herbs.

C. Assembling lemper ayam

1. Line a 7 x 7-inch tray with banana leaves or parchment paper.
2. Press half of the cooked warmed sticky rice on the tray by using parchment
paper (so the rice won’t stick to your finger and easier to press too). Really
pack it down hard!

3. Spread the filling evenly leaving no gap all over the rice.
4. Press the other half of the rice on top. Just like the bottom layer, really pack
it down.

D. How to cut no-wrap lemper ayam

1. Let the lemper ayam cool down completely before cutting.

2. Use a plastic knife or smear a thin layer of oil on the knife before cutting. Cut
the lemper ayam into 24 equal pieces. You can cut into a larger piece too if
you want. You can serve it as is or lightly pan fry it with a tiny bit of oil on a
pan until golden brown on each side and serve

3. Lemper ayam ready to serve
