Soto Ayam (Yellow Spicy Chicken Soup) 马来香料鸡汤


During Ramadan (fasting month), I am continuing cooking Malay cuisine. This time I get my hands on this Soto Ayam, one of the chicken soup that my family like. When we visit Malay's friend house during Raya (Muslim New Year), if we see they serve this Soto ayam, sure we enjoyed very much.




 
The recipe is rather long, so I have to split into two part. Yesterday i shared with you the bergedil (potato patties) . Today i share with you how to make the chicken stock and the rest.
These are part of the ingredients used. I reduced the amount of spices used, as we are not use to too strong spices taste of chicken soup.



 
Use kampong chicken (free range chicken) for best chicken soup..

 
Remember to rub the cooked chicken with some salt, after deep fried, it was yummy!


 
Easy ketupat using store bought ready pack, just need to boil it. Allow few hours to completely cool down before slice.

 
Deep fry glass noodles (So on), do not wash it before fry.


 
This sambal kicap is a must. I add many spoons of this sambal when I enjoy the Soto, simply Shiok!

 
My family enjoyed this Soto Ayam very much, yum!
