Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams young green coconut meat
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 50 ml coconut aminos
- 500 grams chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 1 teaspoon white pepper powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 units shallots, sliced
- 3 units bay leaves
- 3 slices galangal, crushed
- 2 tablespoons erythritol
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
Cut the young green coconut meat into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the mincer garlic and sliced shallots, sauté until fragrant and the shallots become translucent.
Add the chicken thighs to the pot and cook until they are lightly browned on all sides.
Stir in the white pepper powder and coriander powder, allowing the spices to coat the chicken evenly.
Add the bay leaves, crushed galangal slices, and coconut meat to the pot with the chicken.
Pour the coconut milk and coconut aminos over the mixture, stirring to combine.
Add the erythritol and salt to the pot, stirring until dissolved.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and let it simmer for approximately 2 hours, or until the chicken is tender and the flavors meld together.
Check occasionally to stir and ensure the mixture doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot.
Once cooked, remove the bay leaves and galangal slices before serving.
Serve the Keto Gudeg warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy as a standalone dish or pair with a keto-approved side.
