bamboe Soto Ayam Spice Mix 40 g

It’s completely optional but we found you can improve the taste of the soup by adding garlic, lemon grass, spring onions and kaffir lime leaves. Fry the ingredients together first, then mix in the paste with a bit of boiling stock from your chicken. Then put all of it back into the pot with the chicken.

Finally, decorate with chopped flat-leaf parsley and a squeeze of lime juice. Use the european parsley sparingly as it’s a bit more aromatic than the tropical variety. And we do mean parsley, not coriander!

Don’t forget to fry the chicken before serving so the skin is nice and crispy! Hard boiled egg is not required but definitely recommended.
