Ayam Pop

Ayam Pop is a traditional Indonesian dish from the Minangkabau region, known for its tender, flavorful chicken. The chicken is boiled until tender, then served with a rich, savory broth made from garlic, shallots, and spices. It is often accompanied by yellow noodles, vegetables, and sometimes fried shallots or crispy chips for added texture. Unlike crispy fried chicken, Ayam Pop emphasizes soft, moist meat with a mildly spicy and aromatic flavor profile, making it a comforting and distinctive part of Indonesian cuisine.
