Lemper ayam is an Indonesian snack consists of steamed glutinous rice filled with spiced chicken floss, and typically wrapped in banana leaves. I think of lemper as Indonesian version of onigiri, except of course we don't eat the banana leaves, just the rice and the filling. And if I have to choose between the two, I will always choose lemper. Lemper Ayam (Coconut Flavored Sticky Rice with Spiced Chicken Filling) is one of my favorite Indonesian snacks.

Steps to make Lemper Ayam (Steamed Sticky Rice with Umami Chicken Layered):
  1. Put the soaked sticky rice into steamer and steam about 10-15 mins. Set aside. On other sauce pan, boil the coconut cream together with pandan leaves, bay leaves and a pinch of salt. Put the steamed sticky rice to the sauce pan and stir until it well mixed and all the sticky rice is covered by coconut milk. Then put back again to steamer and steam to another 40-50 minutes or until the rice well cooked. Set aside. Anyway, dont forget to brush your steamer with a bit of oil before steam the rice
  2. Put shallot, garlic, candlenut, coriander seed on food processor, then add kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass with a bit of oil on fry pan, Sauté until smell good. Put the shredded chicken, add sugar, salt and white pepper, stir again. Last but not least, put coconut milk/chicken stock and stir again until the liquid runs dry. You have to make the chicken a bit dry in texture. Set aside.
  3. Put sticky rice on bottom, layered with chicken and sticky rice again on baking tray/pyrex, cool-off until a bit hard, cut-off into small square then wrap it one by one. As the rice very sticky, dont forget to brush any tools with oil even if you use baking paper like mine. And also brush your knive with oil too before cutting off the lemper

And if I have to choose between the two, I will always choose lemper. Lemper Ayam (Coconut Flavored Sticky Rice with Spiced Chicken Filling) is one of my favorite Indonesian snacks. The sticky rice is mixed in coconut milk and kaffir lime and bay leaves while the chicken filling is cooked with coconut milk and some spices making lemper very flavorful. Spread half of the sticky rice onto a box shaped cake mould, spread the chicken stuffing, and then spread the other half of the sticky rice on top of the stuffing. Steamed until the the sticky rice is fully cooked.
