He captioned the video, “It was lovely running into you and your family in Kyoto! Please tell your mom that she’s a liar, making this was not easy. My grocery list was 16 items.”

In the video, he could be seen preparing the take up the challenge by starting by grinding the spices of garlic and ginger into a paste which he uses to marinate his chicken.

He then proceeds to make the sambal and even includes belacan in it. After successfully cooking the sambal and the rice, as well as frying the chicken, Newt goes on to plate the dish with the final product that looks pretty authentic!
