Opor White Curry By Bamboe is the ultimate kitchen secret for anyone who loves the rich, creamy, and savory taste of traditional Indonesian cuisine. Opor Ayam (Chicken White Curry) is one of Indonesia's most beloved dishes, famous for its mild yet aromatic coconut milk gravy. Traditionally served during Eid al-Fitr (Lebaran) alongside Ketupat (rice cakes), this dish has become a comfort food enjoyed year-round. AL MODINA HALAL FOOD brings you this premium instant spice mix from Bamboe, a legendary brand that has been trusted by Indonesian families since 1968.
Cooking Opor from scratch involves grinding fresh shallots, garlic, candlenuts, coriander, galangal, and lemongrass into a fine paste—a time-consuming process. With Opor White Curry By Bamboe, all these authentic ingredients are perfectly blended into a ready-to-use paste. It allows you to recreate the nostalgic flavor of home-cooked Opor in less than 30 minutes, without compromising on taste or aroma.
Bamboe is synonymous with quality "Bumbu Instan" (instant spices). Their Opor White Curry mix stands out for several reasons:
1. Authentic Heritage Recipe The recipe used in this packet has been perfected over decades. It captures the true essence of Javanese-style Opor, which is savory, slightly sweet, and incredibly fragrant. It strikes the perfect balance between the richness of coconut milk and the warmth of aromatic spices like white pepper and cumin.
2. Premium Natural Ingredients Opor White Curry By Bamboe is made using real, natural spices. You can taste the difference compared to synthetic flavorings. The paste contains fresh pureed herbs that release a mouth-watering aroma as soon as they hit the hot oil.
3. Convenience for Modern Cooks Living in Japan or having a busy schedule shouldn't stop you from enjoying traditional meals. This packet eliminates the need to hunt for rare tropical herbs like Galangal or Candlenuts (Kemiri) at the grocery store. Everything you need for the base flavor is right inside the sachet.
4. 100% Halal Certified AL MODINA HALAL FOOD ensures that all imported Bamboe products are fully Halal certified, making them suitable for Muslim families across Japan.
While this mix is designed for Chicken Opor, its savory profile makes it incredibly versatile for other ingredients as well.
This is the standard preparation. Chicken pieces are simmered in the spice paste and thin coconut milk until tender, then finished with thick coconut cream. The result is a tender chicken dish bathed in a luscious white gravy that is perfect for soaking up with rice or lontong.
For a vegetarian-friendly protein option, use hard-boiled eggs instead of chicken. Score the eggs slightly so the flavors penetrate the whites. This is a popular side dish in Nasi Padang or Nasi Gudeg platters.
Fried firm tofu and tempeh absorb the Opor sauce beautifully. This is a great economical meal that is packed with plant-based protein and flavor.
You can add vegetables like chayote (labu siam), long beans, or potatoes to the curry to make it a complete one-pot meal.
Using White Curry By Bamboe is foolproof. Here is a simple guide to getting the best results:
Step 1: Preparation Cut 500g of chicken into serving pieces. If you prefer a lighter curry, remove the skin. Prepare 500ml of thin coconut milk and 200ml of thick coconut cream (or adjust water ratio if using instant coconut powder).
Step 2: Sauté the Spices Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pot. Empty the contents of the Opor White Curry By Bamboe sachet into the oil. Stir-fry for a minute until the aroma is released. This step "wakes up" the spices.
Step 3: Seal the Chicken Add the chicken pieces to the pot and stir well to coat them in the spice paste. Cook for a few minutes until the chicken changes color from pink to white.
Step 4: Simmer Pour in the thin coconut milk (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer until the chicken is tender (about 15–20 minutes).
Step 5: Finish Stir in the thick coconut cream. Simmer gently for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent the coconut milk from splitting. Garnish with fried shallots (Bawang Goreng) before serving.
