What’s another way to use Lihing? 👀
Besides enjoying it traditionally, did you know that Lihing can also be used as a special ingredient in cooking? 🍲
Today, we’re sharing one of our favourite ways to enjoy Lihing, which is Sup Ayam Lihing. A comforting traditional-inspired dish that combines the natural sweetness of kampung chicken, the warmth of ginger, and the unique aroma of Lihing
Sup Ayam Lihing Recipe:
Ingredients:
🍗 1 kampung chicken, cut into preferred pieces
🫚 6–8 slices of unpeeled ginger (thumb-sized), lightly crushed
🍶 3 cups Lihing or rice wine
💧 3 cups water
🧂 Salt and MSG
Cooking Method:
1. Add all ingredients into a soup pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
2. Once the soup starts boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer.
3. Cook for about 30–35 minutes, or until the alcohol has evaporated and the chicken is fully cooked.
4. Taste the soup and adjust the flavour by adding more Lihing or water according to your preference.
5. Season with salt and MSG, then turn off the heat.
A well-cooked Sup Ayam Lihing should have a clear golden broth with a light layer of oil from the natural fat of the chicken.
