Rujak Soto

A stew that bursts with flavor, the Rajuk Soto is a dish that combines a wide variety of ingredients successfully. There are two components to this dish –first, the Soto, which is composed of broth, chicken and cow bones, and vegetables and the second, a blend of spices called the Rajuk. Top it off with a garnishing of fried onions, celery and more, and of course, the carbohydrate –rice noodles.

Instructions

Blend with oil and fry spice paste
- In a blender, add lemongrass, garlic, ½ tsp salt, shallots, ginger, cumin powder, and coriander powder. Blend into a smooth paste.
- In a pan on medium heat, fry the spice paste until fragrant and oil starts to separate from the paste.
Properly sautee the base paste to avoid fouls smell

Add chicken and boil–take chicken out from fryer
- Add in chicken pieces and 2 L water, then bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower to a simmer for 25 minutes and season with sugar and fish sauce.

Prepare Tempe and Tofu
- Deep fry slices of tempeh and tofu and remove once there is a golden brown and crunchy texture on the outside.
- Drain excess oil on a paper towel. For the tofu, look for packets labeled “Firm Tofu for frying”. This ensures that your tofu won’t fall apart easily when frying

Plate and Serve!

Pour the soup over cooked bee hoon and serve with fried tempe, fried tofu, bean sprouts, boiled kang kong, crackers and lime wedges.
