What Is Chicken Floss? Chicken floss (Abon Ayam) is a type of meat floss made from finely shredded chicken that’s been seasoned, fried, and dried until it turns fluffy and crisp. The texture is light and cottony, yet flavorful — every strand carrying a balance of sweet, salty, and aromatic spices.
1. Boil chicken with bay leaves and lemongrass until completely cooked. 2. Puree all the spices ingredients until smooth with a wet mill. 3. Shred the chicken then pound with a mortar and pestle. 4. Over medium heat, add spices mixture and seasoning ingredients to a pan, stir and sauté until the coconut sugar is completely dissolved. 5. Add chicken to the pan and stir until the seasoning is absorbed. 6. Heat vegetable oil in another pan, and once hot fried the chicken mixture until dry and turn brown. Remove from the pan and then squeeze the chicken floss from the oil. 7. Store in an airtight container and the chicken floss lasts for 1 month at room temperature.
