Malaysian Chicken Rendang with Sambal Asam
Rendang - a rich, sweet and spicy curry from Malaysia...
Originally cooked by an indigenous people of Indonesia known as the Minangkabau people, there are now many different versions of rendang eaten all over Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. The length of time the curry is cooked for determines how intense the flavour is and whether a saucy curry, like this chicken version or a drier version, often made with beef is produced.
On the side we’ve got a green bean salad known as kerabu, a braised cabbage dish and sambal asam, a tangy version of Malaysia’s favourite condiment which adds a real kick to the meal!

Delicious! The Sambal Assam added a real fiery kick, and the chicken was amazingly tender
We all piled into the kitchen and set to work on our Malaysian Chicken Rendang. The Sambal Assam adds a powerful kick to an otherwise family friendly, delicious, coconutty (yes, it’s a word) chicken rendang. This is perfect for the family; grown ups and kids alike can add some heat if they want. The crunchy bean salad with crispy onions and the gently spiced braised cabbage worked a treat with the rendang. This was our first Spicery kit and we’re looking forward to our next. What a lovely way to get our family together in the kitchen at the weekend, thank you!
Fantastic! So happy to hear everyone enjoyed it and lovely presentation. Thanks for sharing- we look forward to seeing your future Spicery creations!
This was my first attempt at cooking anything from The Spicery and it was fantastic. It was easy to follow the recipe and even someone like me who does not cook much or know many cookery basics managed to produce a great meal which my wife, brother and sister-in-law thoroughly enjoyed.
This looks like a fantastic feast, Richard - great job with your first ever Spicery meal! We're so happy to hear that you found the process nice and straightforward, and that your family enjoyed this fragrant Malaysian recipe!
Good website easy to use.
