Christina's Nyonya Chicken Curry With Rice

Title: Serves 1
$23.50

Christina's Nyonya curry chicken and rice is a dish that's been passed down through generations of her family - a true staple of the Peranakan table, the kind of meal that shows up at every gathering because it's the one everyone asks for. Tender chicken and potatoes are slow-cooked in a rich, creamy coconut curry, built on the traditional Nyonya spice blend of galangal, lemongrass, candlenut, and shrimp paste. It's fragrant, layered, and balanced in a way that only comes from a recipe made the same way for years.

Served over fluffy steamed rice, it's a proper sit-down meal rather than a quick reheat, the kind of curry that fills the kitchen with its aroma before it even reaches the table. Christina recommends a simple cucumber salad on the side to cut through the richness of the coconut sauce.

About Your Cook

Hi, I'm Christina

I was brought up in Malaysia in a Baba Nyonya family. Our cuisine is often known as the Peranakan Nyonya cuisine, which is a fusion of Chinese, Malay, and Indonesian heritage. The Peranakan Nyonya cuisine is about traditional family recipes passed down for generations, along with the stories of the people who cooked them with love and passion.

I grew up in a household of generations of excellent cooks. The high standards to use quality ingredients and creative use of aromatic herbs in the kitchen inspired my passion for cooking.

FAQ's

It's rich and fragrant rather than fiery the coconut milk gives it a creamy sweetness, while galangal, lemongrass, and candlenut add warmth and depth. Shrimp paste rounds it out with a savoury, umami note that's characteristic of Peranakan cooking, without making the dish taste fishy.

A: It has a gentle warmth rather than heat that overwhelms. The spice blend is built for fragrance and depth first, so it suits people who want flavour without a strong chilli kick.

Nyonya curry is a specific style within Malaysian cooking, born from Peranakan (Straits Chinese) heritage. It leans on a wet spice paste of galangal, lemongrass, and candlenut, and is typically milder and more coconut-forward than other Malaysian curries, which can vary widely by region and community.

    The delight of the dish is too short, it keeps on disappearing on me. Needs to be larger portion.

    Christina's Lemongrass Pork & Chicken Rice
    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    So tasty

    The portion size was big (can serve 2 for a light lunch). Rice was flavourful and not dry. The pork was tender and tasty with enough sauce and slices of pork to match the portion of rice. Enjoyed it very much. Stores well in freezer and heats easily in microwave after thawing.
