My Homemade Soto Ayam
All
you need is chicken. Here I use 1 chicken breast and 2 wings, as I need their
bones to make the broth. Feel free to add boneless chicken for more meat later
on.
The
original recipe require fresh ginger and turmeric, I modify it with the powder,
since those I have on hand. I use kemiri or candle nut. Pretty much essential
in Indonesian cooking. But you can substitute with macadamia or raw almond nut.
My mom always said, never let one nut keep you away from cooking✌ Blender them all into
paste. Prepare other ingredients: lime leaves, lemon gras, galangal and bay
leaves. I also add chicken bouillon for taste, along with salt. Boiled the
chicken to make the chicken broth. Constantly skim the fat to make a clear
broth. It take about 1hr - 1 1/2 hr. I know it took a while, but I do want the
chicken to be really tender-fall of the bone.
Stir
fry the paste and leaves with 2tbs of oil. I recommend any type of oil other
than olive oil. The smell unbelievably overwhelmed you and your neighbors too. Add
them all into the chicken broth. Let it cook and simmer a little bit. Add about
300 ml of water. If you think the soup is to thicken. Take out the leaves as
their job here is done. Let it boiled about 10 minutes. At this time you can
add chicken bullion and salt as needed. Keep it warm before served. Take out
the chicken too and shredded. If you like you can also pan fry them to make it
crispy. Dice up potatoes and fry them. You can also use potato chips. I like it
better with the chips too, unfortunately, I couldn't find mine when I need them.
Boiled some eggs. Chopped some white cabbage. Now, the condiment for the soup.
Eggs, shredded cabbage, tomatoes, chicken and lime. Arrange them in the bowl.
You can also substitute the rice with rice cake or vermicelli noodle. Here's
all the party crowded my bowl. Pour the soup on them. Squeeze the lime and add
sambal colek. I'd like to show you my homemade sambal, but I guess it might be
dangerously spicy to look at. Enjoy!
