Another kind of Soto!

I love soto!
That's right. Soto is my favourite breakfast menu when i was at home. After biking around the block, with my biking friend, i end the journey with enjoying soto. My favourite spot? Soto Ayam Pak Slamet near the railway or Soto Daging Sapi Pak Tono PGRI Yogjakarta. But this time, i would like to discuss about other kind of soto which is traditionally from betawi.

The name of Soto Betawi appeared since 1977-1978. Almost typically same as Soto Tangkar but with more simple ingredients and less spicy. More tasty if we meal it with fried onion studded rice, emping (chips made from melinjo) and sambals. So here the recipe of Soto Betawi

Ingredients:
 Beef meat
 Galangal, lemongrass, bay leaves, ginger
 Coconut milk
 Potatoes
 Tomatoes
 Onion, garlic, coriander, caraway, pepper, salt
 celery

Direction:
Boil the meat
 puree all seasoning: onion, garlic, coriander, caraway, pepper and salt

Stir fry the seasoning
Cut into smaller box of potatoes
Add the coconut milk
Stir all to prevent coconut milk splitting
Boilling it until cooked
Add the tomatoes
and..... it served with white rice, studding it with fried onion and don't forget emping
then.... ENJOY IT!!!
