Malaysian Twice-Cooked Turmeric Chicken with Lemon Grass and Sweet Soy
The Malaysian dish called ayam masak kecap translates as “chicken cooked in soy sauce,” but it’s commonly referred to as “bachelor’s chicken” because it’s quick and easy to throw together. It also happens to be irresistibly delicious. Pieces of turmeric-seasoned chicken are fried then set aside.
Don’t add all of the shallots to the pan with the lemon grass. Save about one-third for adding off heat, when cooking is complete, for a fresh, crisp bite.
