Ayam Pongteh (Nyonya Taucheo Chicken)

A leaner take on the Baba-Nyonya home classic: skinless chicken thigh instead of pork belly, with fermented soybean paste (taucheo) carrying the savoury soul and the sugar carefully measured — all the deep, comforting sweet-salty flavour, far less oil and calories.
