A Soupy Affair
Over the weekend, someone I know had soto soup. The thought of soto soup brings back one of the few eating highlights during my travels to The Netherlands.The other being Creme Bruele from Albert Heinz.
I had to have it too. So, it was back to the kitchen again.
Soto Ayam (chicken soto)
These are the general ingredients. I did not measure them accurately and made lots of improvisions, of course.
Combine the chicken, onion, ginger and water and salt in a pot. Bring to boil, cover and cook over low heat for 1.5 hours until chicken is tender. Add 1 chicken cube and salt to test.
Remove chicken, strain and add ginger. (I added fresh chicken fillet into the pot. Once cooked, I fished them out and shredded them to thin strips.)
Heat oil and saute onions unti golden brown. Add in potatoes and cook further for a few minutes.
Serve hot soup with rice or rice noodles, bean sprouts, egg, chillies and other garnishes.

It didn't taste as good as Warung Mini in Netherlands. Warung Mini's version was delicious but salty. Still need to improve on the cooking.
I did use natural chicken stock. It's nice and wholesome but it still needed some help from chicken cubes to give it the extra flavourings.
