  • 350 g chicken pieces or cube, marinate with some salt and pepper for 30 minutes before cooking
  • 10 or more fish balls, cut to 4
  • 1 1/2 tbsp belachan/belacan/shrimp paste, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 tbsp tomato puree (optional)
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sweet sauce/ kicap manis
  • 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • salt and ground white pepper to taste
  • lettuce leaves, shredded (whatever amount you need)
