Today, I felt like eating Soto Ayam for break fast, but had difficulty in finding the spice mix for Soto at Tesco and Cold Storage. Saw a lot of Kurma Mix and Adabi soup powder, but hey I am not making Kurma Ayam nor am I a huge fan of Adabi soup powder. So, I decided bravely to just wing it my style, was quite pleasantly surprised that the taste came out exactly like the Soto spice mix that my housemate's mom used to pack for her while we were studying in Egypt, so that we can cook Asian style dishes back then and not miss home so much.Therefor, I am so keeping this Mee Soto Recipe. (It's called Soto Ayam if you eat the chicken gravy with rice cakes and Mee Soto if you eat it with noodles or vermicelli - I used spaghetti here btw). Soto Ayam is always eaten with sambal kicap (Spicy Sweet Soya Sauce) and Bergedel (Asian Style Potatoes). I have included these two recipes below too.
My Asian Soto Noodle Recipe is thus as such:
The Soto Ayam Recipe:
1 whole chicken - cut into 8
3 cloves of garlic
1 big onion
1 inch young ginger
1.5 inch galangal - thinly sliced
(blend all of the above)
1 stalk lemongrass - bruised
1 cinnamon stick
4 cloves
2 star anise
3 cardamoms
2 tsp fennel powder
2 tsp cumin power (I used Allagappas brand)
4 tsp coriander powder
water as needed
salt
How to Cook the Soto Ayam (Chicken Gravy) :
1. Saute the blended ingredients with a bit of oil, then add in lemongrass, cinnamon stick, star anise, cloves, cardamoms, fennel, cumin and coriander powder until the aroma wafts the air.
2. Add in chicken and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes.
3. Add in water to cover the chicken or slightly more.
4. Add in salt and cook until chicken is tender.
5. Feel free to add in more water if the gravy becomes too thick.
The Spicy Sweet Soya Sauce Recipe:
3 cloves garlic
1/2 medium onion
4 bird's eyes chillies (or you can use green chillies too just use slightly more)
5 tbsp sweet soya sauce
juice of half a lime
How to make the sauce?
1. Pound the garlic, onion and chillies on the mortar. (For a more authentic taste, or you can just blend it)
2. Add in sweet soya sauce and lime juice.
Bergedel or Asian Style Potatoes Recipe:
2 medium potatoes
2 tbsp crsipy fried shallots
pinch of black pepper
salt
2 tbsp finely chopped coriander leaves
1 egg (beaten) + pinch of salt
How To Make Asian Style Potatoes?
1. Boil the potatoes till cooked and then crush them on the mortar till soft.
2. Mix the pounded potatoes with crispy fried shallots, pepper, salt and coriander leaves.
3. Make the potatoes into small oval shapes.

How to Serve Asian Soto Noodle?
Usually, the ever diligent Asian cooks will shred the chicken and will sprinkle it generously on top of the gravy over the rice cakes or noodles, but as you can see from the picture, yours truly is not a diligent cook haha.. So, what I did was, get the noodles, pour the gravy with a piece of whole chicken, add in the potatoes (one or two max) skipped the beans sprouts (cos i am not a big fan of it), add in a dollop of spicy sweet soya sauce, sprinkle some chopped parsley and scallion and some crispy fried shallots... and... wallah.. your Asian Style Soto Noodle is ready to be served!
