Hello everyone!
How are you guys? I hope you are always healthy and happy wherever you are.
Yesterday, my brother came and said she wanted to stay at my house. As a good sister, I would definitely prepare food for her, because we no longer have a mother (our mother died 5 years ago) so she always comes to my house every month to cook home-made food.

You know, my lives alone in the house left by our mother. If he wants to eat, he only buys a local shop or orders via Gojek online. Every time he received a salary, he would definitely come and buy me food, but before that he sent a chat via whatsapp to me and asked to make special food. Usually he only likes some of the food that our mother usually cooks, so that cures his longing for our mother.

My brother is the youngest child, so our mother spoils her very much, as long as our mother is alive, mother always cooks my sister's favorite food, there are even some foods that I don't like but my brother likes, and my wishes are always ignored. After all, he was the youngest and only boy.

So, my brother really likes all processed foods from chicken meat. Starting from fried chicken, chicken rendang, chicken kalasan and chicken rica-rica. For my brother, processed food from chicken is the most delicious food in the world. My brother said at this time she really wanted chicken rica-rica using pandan leaves. He said that usually mom likes to cook chicken rica-rica when I'm not at home, you know, I've been studying abroad for 4 years and rarely eat mom's cooking.

Luckily, before my mother died, she taught me how to cook chicken rica-rica. This rica-rica chicken is simple to cook but has a special trick. So when I learned to cook chicken rica-rica, at that time I was very focused and very good at recooking my mother's cooking. So, curious about the recipe? Let's see the following recipe! Check this out!
