bubur ayam

Indonesian rice porridge served with chicken meat and various type of condiments

Bubur ayam is a Chinese Indonesian chicken congee. It is rice congee with shredded chicken meat served with some condiments, such as chopped scallion, crispy fried shallot, celery, tongcay, fried soybean, Chinese crullers, and both salty and sweet soy sauce, and sometimes topped with yellow chicken broth and kerupuk. Unlike many other Indonesian dishes, it is not spicy; sambal or chili paste is served separately. It is a favourite breakfast food, served by humble travelling vendors, warung, fast food establishments, and five-star hotel restaurants. Travelling bubur ayam vendors frequently pass through residential streets in the morning selling the dish.
