ayam goreng kremes

Ayam goreng kremes pairs seasoned fried chicken with kremesan, light, crisp fragments of fried batter. In a recipe published by Indonesian seasoning producer Sasa, the chicken is first simmered with yellow seasoning, drained and fried. Some of the cooking liquid is mixed with tapioca starch, rice flour, egg and baking powder to make the separate batter.^[1]

The batter is poured into hot oil and fried until crisp, then scattered over the chicken. This loose topping gives the dish its characteristic crunch. Rice, shrimp-paste sambal and fresh vegetables accompany the chicken; cucumber and kemangi leaves appear in the same published recipe. The chicken and the crunchy topping are prepared separately before serving.^[1]
