🇮🇩 Indonesia recipe
Soto Ayam
Soto Ayam is Indonesia's beloved chicken soup, a golden-hued broth fragrant with turmeric, lemongrass, and ginger that warms you from the inside out. Every region of Indonesia has its own version, but the Javanese style with its clear, aromatic broth loaded with shredded chicken, vermicelli noodles, and a host of garnishes is the most widely known. It is comfort food at its finest.
