With the help of the Cuckoo JHT10 Twin Pressure Multicooker and Nyonyalite’s Buah Keluak Paste, you can now prepare Ayam Buah Keluak — one of the most iconic Nyonya food dishes — in just 25 minutes of cooking time.

Yes, really. No more hours of stewing. Just bold, authentic flavors made fast.

Ingredients:

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions:

1. Marinate overnight for deeper flavor
Place the chicken, buah keluak paste, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves in a ziplock bag. Mix well, seal, and refrigerate overnight. This step helps the marinade fully infuse into the meat.

2. Pressure cook like a pro
Transfer everything into your Cuckoo Twin Pressure Multicooker. Close the lid securely and switch to High Pressure mode.

Select Multicooker Mode, set it to 120°C, and cook for 25 minutes.

3. Serve and enjoy a true Peranakan classic
Once the pressure releases, open the lid carefully. Stir gently and serve hot.

What is Ayam Buah Keluak?

Ayam Buah Keluak is a traditional Peranakan chicken stew made with a unique ingredient — the black nut known as buah keluak. It’s famous for its earthy, nutty flavor that’s often described as a mix between dark chocolate, truffle, and mushroom.

This dish is a beloved staple in Nyonya food culture, passed down through generations of Straits Chinese families in Singapore and Malaysia.
