Chicken Gule ( Gule Ayam )



The secret to a mouth-watering Gule Ayam lies in the "rempah" or the fresh made from scratch wet spice paste. Influenced by West Sumatran cuisine, this dish is an integral part of the Medan nasi bungkus or steamed rice liberally doused with the gule or gravy, pieces of chicken and a sambal, on the side, all wrapped up in a banana leaf! Take away food at it's most delicious!

Beef or even boiled eggs can replace the chicken.
