WHY IT STAYS

Rendang earns a slower weekend slot: REMPAH removes prep friction but we keep the essential reduction rather than pretending rendang is a 15-minute curry.

BALANCE

Rich coconut dish, so pair with vegetables and a smaller rice portion; this is intentionally not an everyday light meal.

METHOD

4 moves

  1. 01

    Fry REMPAH and LE until fragrant.

  2. 02

    Add chicken and coat well.

  3. 03

    Add coconut milk and lime leaves; simmer uncovered until chicken is tender.

  4. 04

    Add toasted coconut, tamarind and sugar; keep reducing until the sauce is thick and clings to the chicken.
