Bubur Ayam

Bubur Ayam is Indonesia's ultimate breakfast comfort food, a silky chicken rice porridge that can be found on nearly every street corner from dawn to mid-morning. Unlike plain congee, Indonesian bubur ayam is a symphony of textures and flavors, topped with shredded chicken, cakwe (crispy fried crullers), fried shallots, chopped celery, and a generous drizzle of kecap manis and sambal. Each bite delivers a different combination of soft, crunchy, savory, and spicy.
