Ingredients

• 1 package Indomie Instant Noodles (Rendang flavor)
• 100 grams Chicken breast, skinless and boneless
• 2 medium Shallots, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Chili paste
• 100 milliliters Light coconut milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 stalk Lemongrass, bruised and finely chopped
• 2 leaves Kaffir lime leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 spray Cooking spray
• 1 tablespoon Fresh coriander, chopped
• 2 wedges Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cutting the chicken breast into small cubes to ensure quick cooking and even coating with the rendang spices.

Step 2

Prepare the rendang paste by mixing the minced garlic, chopped shallots, chili paste, turmeric powder, ground coriander, and the finely chopped lemongrass in a small bowl.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and coat lightly with cooking spray.

Step 4

Add the rendang paste to the pan and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until aromatic.

Step 5

Add the cubed chicken breast to the pan, stirring well to coat the chicken in the paste.

Step 6

Pour in the light coconut milk, add the kaffir lime leaves, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Season the chicken mixture with salt and sugar, stirring occasionally, and let it cook for about 8 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has slightly thickened.

Step 8

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the Indomie noodles according to the package instructions, but without using the high-fat oil seasoning provided.

Step 9

Drain the noodles and gently mix them into the chicken rendang, ensuring they are well-coated with the sauce.

Step 10

Once everything is combined, remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped coriander.

Step 11

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an added zesty flavor.
