Resepi Popia Simpul Serunding Ayam: A Delicious Malaysian Treat

Popia simpul, or "knotted spring rolls," are a beloved Malaysian snack. This recipe combines the crispy delight of popia with the savory richness of ayam serunding (shredded chicken serunding). Get ready to impress your family and friends with this easy-to-follow recipe!

Ingredients You'll Need:

For the Popia Skin:

• 20-25 pieces of popia skin (ready-made)

For the Ayam Serunding Filling:

• 500g chicken breast, shredded
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2-3 red chilies, finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 inch ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons desiccated coconut
• 1 tablespoon shrimp paste (belacan) – optional, for a more pungent flavor
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon ground coriander
• Salt and sugar to taste

For Assembly:

• Cooking oil for frying

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preparing the Ayam Serunding Filling:

This is the heart of the recipe, so take your time to get it right.

• Heat the cooking oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion, chilies, garlic, and ginger until fragrant (about 2 minutes).
• Add the shredded chicken and cook until browned.
• Stir in the shrimp paste (if using), turmeric powder, cumin, and coriander. Cook for another minute, allowing the spices to bloom.
• Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is tender and well-coated with the spice mixture (about 10-15 minutes).
• Stir in the desiccated coconut and season with salt and sugar to taste. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

2. Assembling the Popia Simpul:

• Lay a popia skin flat on a clean surface.
• Place a spoonful of the cooled ayam serunding filling near one corner of the skin.
• Fold the two opposite corners towards the center, creating a triangle shape.
• Roll the popia tightly from the base of the triangle to the tip, creating a cone shape. Then, gently twist the popia to secure the filling, forming a knot or "simpul."
• Repeat with the remaining popia skin and filling.

3. Frying the Popia Simpul:

• Heat enough cooking oil in a wok or deep fryer to a medium-high temperature.
• Fry the popia simpul in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. This will help maintain a crisp texture.
• Fry until golden brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes per batch).
• Remove from the oil and place on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

4. Serving and Enjoying:

Serve your delicious popia simpul serunding ayam immediately while still warm and crispy. They're fantastic as a snack, appetizer, or even a side dish!

Tips for Success:

• Don't overfill the popia skins: This will make them difficult to roll and seal properly.
• Adjust the spice level: Add more or fewer chilies depending on your preference.
• Cool the filling completely: This will prevent the popia from breaking during frying.
• Fry in batches: This ensures even cooking and crispiness.

This recipe provides a delightful balance of textures and flavors – the crispy popia skin contrasting beautifully with the savory and slightly sweet ayam serunding filling.
