Fusion Chicken Pongteh

Fusion Chicken Pongteh
Pin It

Chicken Pongteh is a Nyonya dish and and I've given it a twist by using Japanese miso paste instead of the Chinese fermented soya beans (tau cheo).

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 500 gms chicken thigh pieces without bones - cut into bite sizes
  • ½ cup cooked sliced bamboo shoots
  • 6 potatoes - skinned and quartered.
  • 5 garlic
  • 5 shallots (small red onions)
  • 1 tablespoon japanese miso paste
  • 1½ tablespoon kicap manis (sweet soy sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • 1½ cup water

Notes & Tips

Pongteh tastes better the next day when the flavours are infused into the meat.
