Ayam Masak Merah - a dish close to home

this tangy and rich traditional Malay dish roughly translates to 'chicken cooked in red (sauce)'

A recent bump-in with Minister Minister for Culture, Community and Youth, Mr Edwin Tong, led to a conversation about the recent Olympics and how our local Singaporean athletes are cared for as they go through their trainings. Mr Tong mentions in-depth how dieticians are employed to curate healthy and nutritious recipes for these athletes so that they can be constantly at the top of their game.

when requested what he wanted to eat, he mentions one of his favourite dishes - Ayam Masak Merah, a dish which many perceive to be indulgent which also happens to be a recipe featured in the Singapore Sports Institute Recipe Book. below is a recipe adapted from the book, with the ingredients and cooking methods being healthier and more nutritionally mindful as compared to a conventional Ayam Masak Merah.
