One-Pot Asam Siok Bidayuh MAGGI®

Asam Siok, also known as Nasi Sum, is a beloved Bidayuh-style chicken rice dish that celebrates the rich culinary traditions of the Bidayuh community in Malaysia. This chicken rice recipe was inspired by Chef Laura Sim, who reimagined the traditional way of cooking Asam Siok, which is originally prepared in a bamboo, now made simpler one-pot recipe. This modern method not only makes it easier to cook at home, but also allows the chicken, herbs, and spices to blend beautifully, creating fragrant herbed rice that’s packed with flavour and cooked perfectly with the meat. What makes this dish special is the use of MAGGI® CukupRasa™, which enhances the overall taste with a well-balanced seasoning. Fresh lemongrass adds a citrusy aroma, while garlic and ginger bring depth and warmth to the dish. Whether you're looking to try a new twist on chicken rice or exploring traditional Bidayuh recipes, this Asam Siok chicken rice is a comforting dish full of bold flavours and local heritage and made easy in one-pot! It’s a great go-to chicken rice recipe for anyone wanting something hearty, herby, and truly Malaysian.
