Rica-rica (or sometimes simply called rica) is a type of Southeast Asian hot and spicy bumbu (spice mixture) found in Minahasan cuisine and Gorontalo cuisine of Minahasa Peninsula, North Sulawesi, Indonesia.[1]

Rica-rica uses much chopped or ground red and green chili peppers, bird's eye chili, shallots, garlic, ginger, and a pinch of salt and sugar. Such ground spices are cooked in coconut oil and mixed with lime leaf, bruised lemongrass and lime juice.

In Indonesia it is a popular hot and spicy seasoning to prepare barbecued meat, seafood or chicken.[2]

Variants

In Minahasan cuisine and Gorontalese cuisine, almost all kinds of meats, poultries, freshwater fishes and seafood can be made into rica-rica dishes; however, the most popular are probably ayam rica-rica (chicken rica-rica) and ayam iloni.[3]
