This is just lovely, Marion. Please ignore some of the comments coming from my fellow Indonesians trying to tell you how to do things. The truth is, there are myriad variations of soto in Indonesia. It's a big country, and most of us just don't travel enough to know enough about our own cuisine. To my fellow Indonesians, this recipe might not be familiar for some of you but you better believe that in some places this is the standard. Coconut milk is a must have for some of us and spring onion is not that uncommom either, it really does add to the aroma. And chopsticks are really handy, I even use them to eat chiki and pisgor, sue me. God, demen banget sih ngatur hidup orang 🙄
That’s typical Indonesian, when foreigners cook Indonesian food and do not use the authentic ingredients, they start piping up and write comments about how to do it “properly”, BUT when it comes to cooking foreign food, look at what they do, Tiramisu kukus, Cappuccino cincau,.. what would the Italians think i wonder..
Its similar to our Soto here in Bogor, there are two types, with or without coconut milk (santan) and some of our it have two types, clear or creamy. Agree with you, maybe they're not travels enough to explore 😊
My mother used to make this Soto, but the light version. It doesn't contain coconut milk at all and no cumin, but my mother add some candle nut. And for the topping we usually put fine chopped celery and fried shallots instead of coriander leaves. You should try it out, it's so light and refreshing. For browning the chicken it's a good idea tho. Thanks for sharing your version Marion. Love from Indonesia 🇮🇩
I just made this. It’s supper yummy and is fairly easy to make. My wife loved it. I’ll definitely be making this again. Many thanks from the San Francisco Bay Area! 😄
Looks yum! Here's in Indonesia it's quite common to use only a chicken stock instead of coconut milk, and it tastes lighter and refreshing at the same time. I usually add some yolk to my broth so it could be milder. You really bring it to the next level! 💕
@kookie dough Saya tinggal di Jakarta. Untuk soto ayam, biasanya jarang pakai santan kak ✌🏻 Tapi kalau proteinnya pakai daging sapi atau kambing, biasanya memang pakai santan. Anyway, semuanya sama sama enak 😅
There are many variations of Soto in Indonesia. Some with coconut milk, some without. The one I usually have it the one without. We add boiled eggs, and mix the yolk into the soup. Taste awesome. You should definitely try it.
In sumatera, usually make soto ayam with coconut milk, heavier taste but yummy, good for lunch/dinner In java, soto ayam without coconut milk, lighter taste, good for breakfast. Every version has unique flavor :)
Actually there are tons of variation of "soto" soup in Indonesia. It varies mainly based on the region/city or ingredients. Usually the soto ayam (chicken soup) version doesn't require coconut milk and the broth is clear. For the garnish you can do more by adding cracker/krupuk, fried shallot, a half of boiled egg, Indonesian sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) and my favorite perkedel kentang (fried mashed potato). Anyway thank you for introducing Indonesian food and please explore since we still have iconic dishes such as rendang, rawon, satay, gado gado, bakso, perkedel, rempeyek, ayam taliwang, etc. Good luck!
as an indonesian (specifically i am balinese), i prefer to mix the seasoning with coconut oil as it helps to enhance the flavor when i fry them. there is nothing wrong or bad to use the broth to help the blending process but i often felt the seasoning was lacking by using water, as if the soto were just disappears on my tongue as soon i swallow it. but when i use oil (whatever you choose to use, in indonesia we usually using coconut oli most of the time), the taste lingers and making me aware of how delicious the dish is, makes me wanted to eat more. anyway it is just my opinion and everybody had their own taste
In my family they do this too! I’m not sure exactly where they’re from as I grew up in the Netherlands without much of the culture, so I’m so happy Indonesian comment and share more so I can find out more!! ❤❤❤
This food is very delicious and popular in Indonesia. Every city has different type of ingredients "Soto ayam" or chicken noodles soup.. I love it so much
We usually add candle nut in the paste to add depth of flavour and fried shallots as garnish. Nice touch there with coconut milk ;-) It's a great recipe!
I made this recipe today and found that it was delicious. I'm from India and coconut milk is common to South Indian cuisine, and so is turmeric. The paste was absolutely fragrant with the garlic, ginger, turmeric, lemon grass, coriander and cumin powders. In all, a delicious noodle soup which warms the body and the soul!! 😋👍
Marion.. I love everything about your soto. Do not mind people commenting about coconut milk in your soto. Soto has a huge number of variations across Indonesia with different ingredients and people still call them all soto (or coto in Makassar) and you can put anything you wish into it and make it your signature soto. Coconut milk in soto is heaven in the palate because I prefer thick and spice-full soup to the clear and light soup. If you are still wondering about other variations of soto, you might want to try Soto Sokaraja (soto with peanut sauce), Soto Betawi (this one is with coconut milk or milk!), or Soto Tauto Pekalongan (you might find the fermented soybean in Chinese grocery stores - well, it's too complicated tho).
Kaffir lime leaves are so important. I have a tree and use it all the time. IT is the taste of Thailand. I know this recipe is from Indonesia but the kaffir lime leaves are the true taste of Thailand. Thanks for this recipe you are so amazing!! xxx
I just love your videos!! I made your Korean Beef stir-fry a few nights ago and my husband can’t stop raving about it. Luckily I doubled the recipe so he has had it for lunch every day. I also made a daikon radish and cucumber salad to go with it. Thanks for continuing to inspire me to cook new bright and delicious flavours. Cheers!!
As an Indonesian, I like this yellow chicken soup ( Soto Ayam) so much. We may skip the coconut milk and add some candle nut ,depends on the taste you want. What a pleasure to see this video 👍 Amazing.
In indonesia, people use fried onion more than spring onion as its garnish, both are acceptable and isn't going to change the flavour too much. Indonesian or at least javanese really love fried onion. Just fyi xD
My family make both the clear broth & add coconut milk variations. Both tasted so good. Instead of sambal olek, we eat it with sambal kicap. Perfect! Love from Denver & missing alot of Asian food...
I could watch Marion's Kitchen videos all day, great colours. Plus I love asian cuisine and Marion makes the cooking element look a lot less intimidating then I thought it would be. Currently making chicken pho following Marion's recipe. :)

parmeila dhevi yeah, I'm from Malaysia too. I put 2-3 tbsp coconut milk in my broth. That's what my Johorian friend teach me. Not too much like masak lemak 😁 Anyway, both with & without coconut milk are delicious. I like it 😋
@@parmeiladhevi8602 In Indonesia we have several kind of soto ayam, mostly are clear (like soto lamongan, soto madura, soto banjar), but some are not due to the coconut milk (like soto betawi). But all of them are delish 😊 However, what Marion makes here is more her version of Indonesian soto ayam so it's not really authentic but I'm sure it taste amazing
Thank you, this is beautiful. Turmeric soto ayam doesn't use coconut milk in Java, but it depends on your preference. There a lot of local Soto variations in Indonesia, some use beef meat and so on. This is considered a national dish from Indonesia.
Thank you for ur version-soto.. Its look delicious.. Haha. U did it excellent.. In indonesia, there are plenty different kind of soto, but we dont use coriander leaves, instead we choose celery / spring onion.. And of course, fried shallot, fried chicken, boiled egg come along as best topping for soto.. Hahaha
indonesia is huge, there is a lot of soto version, different city there is slighty different soto taste. marion soto recipe which use coconut milk, is like soto in central java such as purwerejo city, love it. keep making indonesian recipe. thanks marrion, for your great soto recipe.
Bule yg masak masakan lokal Indonesia ko kaya naik kelas gitu ya secara penyampaian & looking.. Local Indonesian dish with international style 💋.. Your cooking so amazing.. Love U
I tried making dumplings for the first time yesterday. Thanks to you they were so amazing and tasty!! But it took me over an hour to get the dough ready 😂 Greetings from Germany 😘
WOW! how you do the every single particular ingredients, meat, broth, and others add, how the way you cook it genuinely like a local people do for its soup.. its Awesome!
If you wonder how many versions of Soto, ill list some which i know. Talking which soto is right can be very confusing. Soto ayam (chicken based) : Soto Medan, Betawi, Solo, Jombang, Lamongan, Surabaya, Banjar, Kudus, Banjarmasin. Beef based : Soto madura (from Sumenep), Soto Solo (beef), Soto Dhok Jombang (Beef), Coto Makassar. Fish based : Soto madura (Sepulu) So many comments about coconut milk usage, so from above list, ill write which one using coconut milk : Soto Medan, Betawi, Kudus, Banjar, Surabaya. Soto ayam Surabaya is kinda confusing, it is not the most soto consumed at the city name it based from. It kinda only available at outskirts of the city. Not only it has coconut milk, but srundeng. Surabaya people usually eat Soto Lamongan. With a lot of Koya. Lamongan is a town near to Surabaya. Also confusing is the Soto Madura or many people refer as Soto daging (Beef Soto literally). It may not originated from Madura because my mom live there and told me they only had the Fish version, with reddish colored soup. Edit : Input from Muhammad Safril. The Soto Daging, the beef version of Soto Madura was from Sumenep. But whatever version the soto is, one thing is the same. You can custom order the ingredients. So you can tell the cook which one you like and you dont. You dont like celery? fine. You want extra chicken breast? No citrus? No glass noodle? Just tell the cook. As long you don't say "without soto". If you know more than i do, put your comments down below 😋.
@@emmamoon3056 Ya, saya tidak menyalahkan. Cuma tanya, yang saya makan itu putih butek. Terus terang, rasanya rasa santan. Kalau di Banjar kayak bagaimana? Saya makan di Surabaya. Ini pertanyaan serius, soalnya memang semerawut ini penamaan soto. Mari sebisa mungkin diluruskan ha ha ha.
@@edhikurniawan mungkin sdh d twist biar ccok sm selera wrga setempat, mungkin loh ya... Klo d sni soto it kuah nya bening kekuningan.. kalopun agak butek bysanya krna udh trlalu lma d rebus ad dging ayam yg ancur nyatu d kuah, kadang ad yg nmbahkan telur d kuahnya biar lebih legit.. secara umum bgtu.. bsa beda trgntung dr resep keluarga masing2..
Wow you make cooking Soto look easy! Thank you for creating this video. Most Indonesians will use Chinese celery rather than corriander leaves and also, if you sprinkle fried sliced-shallots on top of your Soto, it will enhance the taste 💙
hai Marion, i'm Indonesian and a big fan of soto ayam and i think u did a great job in this video just let u know, in indonesia we usually add some springkle of crispy Shallot on top so shallot makes the soto ayam more fragrant and yummy good job, God bless
OMG so many haters! C'mon Indo people, be nice! Every cook / chef have their own version of a dish! take a hike if you dont like it! for me i love this version, Thank you Marion for all the recipe you post here for us to learn and make it at home !
We dont put corriander leaf we put celery instead. However all other ingredients and spices are exactly the same and the way you cook it is even better than mine hehe. Greetings from Indonesia Marion. Thanks. So glad you like our cuisine.
It stains so bad, even when I rinse something in the sink I make sure to have the water running because I’m scared for the porcelain. But it is so good.
No, you guys that are commenting about the addition of coconut milk are right. Soto Ayam doesn’t have coconut milk. She is making opor. I asked my Mom, that’s how I found out.
Sara Winardi you really need to go to other part/city in Indonesia. In Medan we use coconut milk for our soto Medan and clear chicken stock for chicken soup.
I tried your laksa recipe and it blew my mind I ate laksa soup for breakfast lunch and dinner I am going to make this delicious soup today and I am pretty much confident that this recipe of urs would be as delicious as laksa
this might be weird, but most of Indonesian restaurants across NSW and VIC serve this KIND of soto ayam. Turmeric chicken broth mixed with coconut milk. I was mad initially, but then, got along with it after living 2 yrs in NSW. Hence, i call this AUSTRALIAN SOTO AYAM!
Its call " resah" on my place, variation of soto that use coconut milk. And usually toping with potato chips and fried onions. And the last one that makes perfect is "tempeh kemul" crispy fried tempeh with tumeric seasoning that makes its look yellowist
I literally love all your videos, I might have been binge watching them recently. The videos are amazingly calm and your personality is very welcoming.
I once tried a real indonesian chicken soto in the birth land it self and its taste really really good and almost 10years later i can still remember the taste .
You may use any ingredients you want for your version of soto, but cilantro/coriander leaves is a big no no. It will ruin the taste of soto. Asian celery tastes a lot different from cilantro. Your soto looks great btw 😊👍
ahmad yogi lha.. ngmng bgini aja disuruh mingkem gw 😑. gmn gw nyuruh dia bkin koya? 😂 santuy masnya, sy nyuruh nyari apa coba? g ada seledri pun let it be, ga usah cilantro. makin gampang to? 😁
In Indonesia, We called it SOTO. Soto in Indonesia has many different of types. Each province has their own style and spices. So, the taste also different.
many area in Indonesia has their own take of Soto, I think u might wanna try making them urself. They are soo delicious. Oh, examples are Soto Bandung, Soto Betawi, Soto Padang, Soto Medan, Soto Tangkar, Soto Sulung, Soto Mie Bogor.
Oh Marion - I made this tonight. . . and it was absolutely heavenly. But not just the taste - the whole wonderful therapeutic process of blending these beautiful ingredients into a soul-warming, fragrant delight of a dish! Thank you so much for this fabulous recipe.
when you took to use coconut milk for that chicken soup, i thought you was being made 'opor ayam' or yellow chicken soup, mam... i am sorry before for my comment. i am just knowing soto ayam' making without coconut milk. But i don't know if any another soto dish version.
It is opor. I was asking my Mom, who is Indo whether or not Soto ayam has coconut milk and she said, ‘no, opor has coconut milk’ Then I showed this video and she said ‘yes see? She is making opor’
Kalian kok pada sotoy bgt sih emang di daerah kalian sotonya gak pakai santan yah......soalnya gue penjual soto jadi tau macem2 jenis soto di di indonesia....
@yitna wulan. justru itu. marion tidak menyebutkan, dia sedang buat soto indonesia versi mana ? karena soto santan indonesia byk versi sesuai asal daerah. ini yg bikin gw bisa salah persepsi. kalo marion bilang sdg buat soto santan khas kudus, tentu gw gak akan mengkritik. mmg soto kudus, berbahan ayam kampung dg kuah santan bewarna kuning.
@@yitnawulan5672 karena soto pada umumnya di indonesia orang pasti mikirnya soto tanpa santan. Kecuali kalo mereka bilangnya lebih spesifik kayak soto medan atau soto betawi, baru deh identik dengan soto pake santan. ini kuahnya malah aku pikir lebih kyk opor ya.
I was impressed with this. I had already had a rich Asian chicken stock (with ginger, star anise, etc) so I met the recipe half way. I fried off the chicken and used that rendered oil to cook the paste. I also added some mushrooms. This is a great starter for a lot of soups. I chose some rice versus vermicelli to layer the bowl. Thanks, Marion. A keeper.
you mean why make broth "with" deboned chicken? that's because 1) convenience : supermarket's chickens sold already deboned, and people would rather eat something bone-free. 2) because this one make use of coconut milk and thick herb paste, so the extra effort of getting a pile of chicken bones and boiling them along with other stuff and then fish them out might not really worth it. unless you are making clear broth type of soto or mie ayam.
So many kind of soto in Indonesia. Both version of clear without coconut milk (soto solo, soto madura, soto banjar) and with coconut milk (soto medan, soto betawi). In my opinion, Marion's version is similar with soto medan. :) In solo we call it "kare ayam" when served without glassed noodle and added with boiled vegetable such as spinach and bean sprout as topping and even shredded sweet fried beef (empal goreng).
that's why you don't "slurp" soto. and you should have use spoon only. eat the noodles/rice vermicelli(bihun)/glass noodles(soun) along with the soup. chopsticks and slurping are not part of the culture.
Talking about culture, well actually the best way to eat any foods is having it the way what best suits for their own preferences. Like Japanese for example, they eat steak with rice (omg) using chopsticks, sometimes they eat pasta with chopsticks too, because thats the best way they think to eat it, same goes to Indonesians, they use spoon because thats the best way they think to eat soto (or soupy dish in general). Like me, i eat ramen with spoon because i found that it more pleasurable to eat it that way (as an Indonesian or at least for me)instead of slurping with chopsticks. And im sure that she did ate the original ver of soto and used spoon before she made “her version”
unless she's been to Indonesia and having soto here, where people normally won't give you chopsticks to eat Indonesian dish, i highly doubt that. and i think it is more important to show that you are aware of the culture. you can do it however you like "off camera". because there are A LOT of people East-Asiansplaining Indonesian Culture. Eating Nasi Goreng with chopsticks, slurping Mie Goreng and stuff. and it is painful to watch when they are struggling with the dish. like rice falling off everywhere, get choked because of thick spices etc. because they purposely doing it with different(wrong) culture. what i'm saying is just follow the culture, suits better for the job, you'll earn respect and it's not hard at all. cheers.
Riel Dasparion respect to this reply, but i wonder why you referring me by saying “you” to me, instead of “her” or “she”? As we talking about her not me.... I’ll be much appreciate your reply if you “teach” to the right person, and avoid misunderstanding ofc.
@@rafi4821 This is English, not Bahasa Indonesia. Explaining with "you" as object is common practice. Q: Can you use Bahasa Indonesia's grammar in an English sentence? A: No, you can't. ^ serves both example and explanation.
Riel Dasparion that has nothing to do with the grammar, your explanation will be fit if there’s only you and me or teacher and student (2 way communications) without talking another subject or object, for instance, “Can you do it?” Is different to “Can she do it?”
Local here, another thing to add as some kind of topping to this soup is crushed (or not crushed) melinjo chips. The debate of to crush or not to crush the melinjo chips is enough to start a conflict on a dining table.
The recipe says to keep the extra paste in the freezer. Can you please clarify how much paste we are to use for the soup? I am making this right now and am so excited! 💛💛💛
80's Girl it was so comforting! I ended up using half of the paste that was made because it looked like she used around 1/3 of a cup of paste. I will definitely be making it again soon!
She says “this is MY version” so every body calm down. This is ART

Shallots not onion
Lady Azkaban shallots are onions.
Shallot bang shallot
Emang sih karena di Indonesia semua jenis bawang disebutnya bawang.
Shallot = bawang merah
onion = bawang bombay
garlic = bawang putih
My take, i put not just coconut milk i also put chili paste and i'm also indonesian 😊 it is soto betawi
Suggestion: add some bean sprout and raw-chopped cabbage as the topping to give "crunchiness" in your soup
+ boiled egg
My family make both the clear broth & add coconut milk variations. Both tasted so good. Instead of sambal olek, we eat it with sambal kicap. Perfect! Love from Denver & missing alot of Asian food...

Thank you for ur version-soto.. Its look delicious.. Haha. U did it excellent..
In indonesia, there are plenty different kind of soto, but we dont use coriander leaves, instead we choose celery / spring onion.. And of course, fried shallot, fried chicken, boiled egg come along as best topping for soto.. Hahaha
I really appreciate how easy to follow these recipes are. they're perfect enough to be very unique and fun while still being doable.
Its Indonesian soto ayam "Medan version" love from hong kong
indonesia is huge, there is a lot of soto version, different city there is slighty different soto taste.
marion soto recipe which use coconut milk, is like soto in central java such as purwerejo city, love it.
keep making indonesian recipe.
thanks marrion, for your great soto recipe.
different province or cities different types of soup
True...that's the beauty of soup... just use what is available.
Dahlan is can or dahlan is khan ?
Yupp
even different city can be different types of soup although it is in one province
Dahlan is can't
Niiice..Indonesia has soooo many versions of Soto and its okay to have your own version! Proudly Asia 😘
Add some fried shallot for topping, for flavor and aroma, and thank you for introducing Indonesian cuisine 😘😘😘
Bule yg masak masakan lokal Indonesia ko kaya naik kelas gitu ya secara penyampaian & looking.. Local Indonesian dish with international style
💋.. Your cooking so amazing.. Love U
I tried making dumplings for the first time yesterday. Thanks to you they were so amazing and tasty!! But it took me over an hour to get the dough ready 😂
Greetings from Germany 😘
Nathalie Rode 😆 You’ll get faster with practice! 👌
Thanks for giving credit to Indonesia as it is our most proud dish we have 👏🏼👍🏼
I’ve been eating this Soto medan my whole life, and i never knew how do they cook it, until now LMAO and im Medanese 😅
Soto ayam, Chicken noodle curry soup. It is Soto Medan yellow version soup, usually added fried shallot
tried this recipe today and loved it! thanks for showing step by step!
WOW! how you do the every single particular ingredients, meat, broth, and others add, how the way you cook it genuinely like a local people do for its soup.. its Awesome!
I just made this. Delicious. Great recipe. Thank you.
Proud to be Indonesian, this is one of my fav food. and always cooking for this menu. thank you for cooking indonesia food. wohooooo.
If you wonder how many versions of Soto, ill list some which i know. Talking which soto is right can be very confusing.
Soto ayam (chicken based) :
Soto Medan, Betawi, Solo, Jombang, Lamongan, Surabaya, Banjar, Kudus, Banjarmasin.
Beef based :
Soto madura (from Sumenep), Soto Solo (beef), Soto Dhok Jombang (Beef), Coto Makassar.
Fish based :
Soto madura (Sepulu)
So many comments about coconut milk usage, so from above list, ill write which one using coconut milk :
Soto Medan, Betawi, Kudus, Banjar, Surabaya.
Soto ayam Surabaya is kinda confusing, it is not the most soto consumed at the city name it based from. It kinda only available at outskirts of the city. Not only it has coconut milk, but srundeng. Surabaya people usually eat Soto Lamongan. With a lot of Koya. Lamongan is a town near to Surabaya.
Also confusing is the Soto Madura or many people refer as Soto daging (Beef Soto literally). It may not originated from Madura because my mom live there and told me they only had the Fish version, with reddish colored soup.
Edit : Input from Muhammad Safril. The Soto Daging, the beef version of Soto Madura was from Sumenep.
But whatever version the soto is, one thing is the same. You can custom order the ingredients. So you can tell the cook which one you like and you dont. You dont like celery? fine. You want extra chicken breast? No citrus? No glass noodle? Just tell the cook. As long you don't say "without soto".
If you know more than i do, put your comments down below 😋.
Soto banjar gapake santan mas..
@@emmamoon3056 Saya makan warna putih butek gitu, bukan santan pakai apa ya?
@@edhikurniawan wah mas nya makan d mna nih?? Saya orang banjar mas, seumur2 belom prnh liat soto banjar pke santan.. 😅
@@emmamoon3056 Ya, saya tidak menyalahkan. Cuma tanya, yang saya makan itu putih butek. Terus terang, rasanya rasa santan. Kalau di Banjar kayak bagaimana?
Saya makan di Surabaya. Ini pertanyaan serius, soalnya memang semerawut ini penamaan soto. Mari sebisa mungkin diluruskan ha ha ha.
@@edhikurniawan mungkin sdh d twist biar ccok sm selera wrga setempat, mungkin loh ya...
Klo d sni soto it kuah nya bening kekuningan.. kalopun agak butek bysanya krna udh trlalu lma d rebus ad dging ayam yg ancur nyatu d kuah, kadang ad yg nmbahkan telur d kuahnya biar lebih legit.. secara umum bgtu.. bsa beda trgntung dr resep keluarga masing2..
Wow you make cooking Soto look easy! Thank you for creating this video.
Most Indonesians will use Chinese celery rather than corriander leaves and also, if you sprinkle fried sliced-shallots on top of your Soto, it will enhance the taste 💙
I was literally eating this food when it showed up on my recommendation lol
hai Marion,
i'm Indonesian and a big fan of soto ayam
and i think u did a great job in this video
just let u know,
in indonesia we usually add some springkle of crispy Shallot on top
so shallot makes the soto ayam more fragrant and yummy
good job,
God bless
This is Medanese soto. Traditionally eaten with rice, bitternut cracker and potato cakes or glass noodle.
OMG so many haters! C'mon Indo people, be nice! Every cook / chef have their own version of a dish! take a hike if you dont like it! for me i love this version, Thank you Marion for all the recipe you post here for us to learn and make it at home !
Finally. Been waiting for local indonesian food!!! Love it
I'm Indonesian but I live in USA. It makes me remember to my favourite Indonesian food. Javanese Chicken Soto😍
Another sensational recipe from Queen Marion, hooray!
We dont put corriander leaf we put celery instead. However all other ingredients and spices are exactly the same and the way you cook it is even better than mine hehe. Greetings from Indonesia Marion. Thanks. So glad you like our cuisine.
You definitely live dangerously cooking something with turmeric in ur bright T shirt and jacket
Every Indian ever knows this feeling😅
the stain will never leaves if you wash it so many times
@@evanoeva89 u need to wash it with lime juice
It stains so bad, even when I rinse something in the sink I make sure to have the water running because I’m scared for the porcelain.
But it is so good.
No, you guys that are commenting about the addition of coconut milk are right. Soto Ayam doesn’t have coconut milk. She is making opor. I asked my Mom, that’s how I found out.
Lu goblok emangnya soto cuma yg bening doang soto itu jenisnya banyak bgt versinya.....gue penjual soto....
soto ada yg pake santan mba , didaerah lain seperti soto betawi dan soto medan ..
Sara Winardi you really need to go to other part/city in Indonesia. In Medan we use coconut milk for our soto Medan and clear chicken stock for chicken soup.
It's amazing how you make Soto from scratch.. but you forgot the sweet soy sauce :D
I tried your laksa recipe and it blew my mind I ate laksa soup for breakfast lunch and dinner I am going to make this delicious soup today and I am pretty much confident that this recipe of urs would be as delicious as laksa
You had me at "coconut and turmeric chicken broth" 😍
this might be weird, but most of Indonesian restaurants across NSW and VIC serve this KIND of soto ayam. Turmeric chicken broth mixed with coconut milk. I was mad initially, but then, got along with it after living 2 yrs in NSW. Hence, i call this AUSTRALIAN SOTO AYAM!
WOW you can cook anything❤️
Its call " resah" on my place, variation of soto that use coconut milk. And usually toping with potato chips and fried onions. And the last one that makes perfect is "tempeh kemul" crispy fried tempeh with tumeric seasoning that makes its look yellowist
You look casual in this video wearing t-shirt and jeans jacket. Love it! 💕
I love Soto Betawi much more than Soto Ayam. Not sure why but the flavour is amazing
I literally love all your videos, I might have been binge watching them recently. The videos are amazingly calm and your personality is very welcoming.
Thuan Huynh Aw thank you so much!
I once tried a real indonesian chicken soto in the birth land it self and its taste really really good and almost 10years later i can still remember the taste .
You may use any ingredients you want for your version of soto, but cilantro/coriander leaves is a big no no. It will ruin the taste of soto. Asian celery tastes a lot different from cilantro. Your soto looks great btw 😊👍
Enjoy aja videonya mbak, ga usah kritik sana sini...wong dia tibggal diluar...pasti kan susah dapet bahan yg sesuai.
ahmad yogi lha.. ngmng bgini aja disuruh mingkem gw 😑. gmn gw nyuruh dia bkin koya? 😂 santuy masnya, sy nyuruh nyari apa coba? g ada seledri pun let it be, ga usah cilantro. makin gampang to? 😁
@@ahmadyogi700 napa lu wkwk
makanya mba bulenya supaya ga da koment2 macem lau dy tulis "MY VERSION"
Ainara Ardiansyah wah iya saya juga dulu bikin soto tp pake cilantro dan rasanya jd gak enak 😂
Many times i ate that soto ayam very yummy because our country indonesia have special spies
Please review Indonesian Salad "Gado- Gado". 👍
And rujak cingur
Asyik
In Indonesia, We called it SOTO. Soto in Indonesia has many different of types. Each province has their own style and spices. So, the taste also different.
Its gonna be perfect if u eat it with shrimp cracker (kerupuk udang) and crispy fried shallot
And also koyah powder, don't forget that
many area in Indonesia has their own take of Soto, I think u might wanna try making them urself. They are soo delicious. Oh, examples are Soto Bandung, Soto Betawi, Soto Padang, Soto Medan, Soto Tangkar, Soto Sulung, Soto Mie Bogor.
You're making me hungry!!!!😫😫💨🍴💭
From now on I’m gonna make this soup regularly,it is delicious 😋
For a more light and traditional taste, lose the coconut milk. It'll make a world of difference
Oh Marion - I made this tonight. . . and it was absolutely heavenly. But not just the taste - the whole wonderful therapeutic process of blending these beautiful ingredients into a soul-warming, fragrant delight of a dish! Thank you so much for this fabulous recipe.
Oh I'm so thrilled to hear about the joy this one brought you! Love it!
Goodness me Marion, this looks absolutely divine!
I am an Indonesian but I love your version of Soto it is just exactly the way I like it 😍😍😍😍
when you took to use coconut milk for that chicken soup, i thought you was being made 'opor ayam' or yellow chicken soup, mam...
i am sorry before for my comment. i am just knowing soto ayam' making without coconut milk. But i don't know if any another soto dish version.
It is opor. I was asking my Mom, who is Indo whether or not Soto ayam has coconut milk and she said, ‘no, opor has coconut milk’ Then I showed this video and she said ‘yes see? She is making opor’
Kalian kok pada sotoy bgt sih emang di daerah kalian sotonya gak pakai santan yah......soalnya gue penjual soto jadi tau macem2 jenis soto di di indonesia....
@yitna wulan.
justru itu. marion tidak menyebutkan, dia sedang buat soto indonesia versi mana ?
karena soto santan indonesia byk versi sesuai asal daerah. ini yg bikin gw bisa salah persepsi. kalo marion bilang sdg buat soto santan khas kudus, tentu gw gak akan mengkritik. mmg soto kudus, berbahan ayam kampung dg kuah santan bewarna kuning.
@@yitnawulan5672 karena soto pada umumnya di indonesia orang pasti mikirnya soto tanpa santan. Kecuali kalo mereka bilangnya lebih spesifik kayak soto medan atau soto betawi, baru deh identik dengan soto pake santan. ini kuahnya malah aku pikir lebih kyk opor ya.
Gotta fix your English bro. Cheers
Marion at so much knowledge on Aslan cookery alone , you are already a legend .
you forget the most important part, that is bean sprouts
bukan lupa,ini versinya dia,dan di tiap daerah juga beda2,ada yang nggak pake tauge
Yaudalah ya, gitu aja dikomentarin ekwkwk
I was impressed with this. I had already had a rich Asian chicken stock (with ginger, star anise, etc) so I met the recipe half way. I fried off the chicken and used that rendered oil to cook the paste. I also added some mushrooms. This is a great starter for a lot of soups. I chose some rice versus vermicelli to layer the bowl. Thanks, Marion. A keeper.
I'm supposed to be sleeping but here I am, stomach growling...
It’s not how we cook it, but it’s fine. I love it
Soto ayam versi medan gitu, klo di pulau jawa lebih ringan karena ga pake santan
Why make broth and use deboned chicken.. You want flavour from the bones..
you mean why make broth "with" deboned chicken?
that's because
1) convenience : supermarket's chickens sold already deboned, and people would rather eat something bone-free.
2) because this one make use of coconut milk and thick herb paste, so the extra effort of getting a pile of chicken bones and boiling them along with other stuff and then fish them out might not really worth it. unless you are making clear broth type of soto or mie ayam.
@@riel5197 bone-in chicken is as easily available as deboned chicken. It's a missed opportunity to intensify flavour. But hey.. You do you.
@@abdrahimn she already prepared precook broth made from chicken bone
So many kind of soto in Indonesia. Both version of clear without coconut milk (soto solo, soto madura, soto banjar) and with coconut milk (soto medan, soto betawi). In my opinion, Marion's version is similar with soto medan. :) In solo we call it "kare ayam" when served without glassed noodle and added with boiled vegetable such as spinach and bean sprout as topping and even shredded sweet fried beef (empal goreng).
that's why you don't "slurp" soto. and you should have use spoon only.
eat the noodles/rice vermicelli(bihun)/glass noodles(soun) along with the soup.
chopsticks and slurping are not part of the culture.
Talking about culture, well actually the best way to eat any foods is having it the way what best suits for their own preferences. Like Japanese for example, they eat steak with rice (omg) using chopsticks, sometimes they eat pasta with chopsticks too, because thats the best way they think to eat it, same goes to Indonesians, they use spoon because thats the best way they think to eat soto (or soupy dish in general).
Like me, i eat ramen with spoon because i found that it more pleasurable to eat it that way (as an Indonesian or at least for me)instead of slurping with chopsticks.
And im sure that she did ate the original ver of soto and used spoon before she made “her version”
unless she's been to Indonesia and having soto here, where people normally won't give you chopsticks to eat Indonesian dish, i highly doubt that.
and i think it is more important to show that you are aware of the culture. you can do it however you like "off camera". because there are A LOT of people East-Asiansplaining Indonesian Culture. Eating Nasi Goreng with chopsticks, slurping Mie Goreng and stuff.
and it is painful to watch when they are struggling with the dish. like rice falling off everywhere, get choked because of thick spices etc. because they purposely doing it with different(wrong) culture.
what i'm saying is just follow the culture, suits better for the job, you'll earn respect and it's not hard at all.
cheers.
Riel Dasparion respect to this reply, but i wonder why you referring me by saying “you” to me, instead of “her” or “she”? As we talking about her not me.... I’ll be much appreciate your reply if you “teach” to the right person, and avoid misunderstanding ofc.
@@rafi4821 This is English, not Bahasa Indonesia.
Explaining with "you" as object is common practice.
Q: Can you use Bahasa Indonesia's grammar in an English sentence?
A: No, you can't.
^ serves both example and explanation.
Riel Dasparion that has nothing to do with the grammar, your explanation will be fit if there’s only you and me or teacher and student (2 way communications) without talking another subject or object, for instance,
“Can you do it?” Is different to
“Can she do it?”
Nice soto ayam.
Love from indonesia 💙💙
Asian food are always complicated to make 😭
CARATUBE wrong ... most simple choping and blender every thing nyahhahahhaha
Local here, another thing to add as some kind of topping to this soup is crushed (or not crushed) melinjo chips.
The debate of to crush or not to crush the melinjo chips is enough to start a conflict on a dining table.
I love your soothing voice, reminding me of Peter Barakan from begin japanology. My favorite host
THANKYOU FOR APRECIATING MY CULTURE FOOD SISTER ..GOD BLESS YOU N FAMILY..
Chicken thigh and legs are also my favorite!
Marion no one cooks like you-just the way you describe the food is awesome!
Sara Stewart Aw thank you 🥰
The recipe says to keep the extra paste in the freezer. Can you please clarify how much paste we are to use for the soup? I am making this right now and am so excited! 💛💛💛
How'd it go girl? I just *know* it was yummy
80's Girl it was so comforting! I ended up using half of the paste that was made because it looked like she used around 1/3 of a cup of paste. I will definitely be making it again soon!
She mentions that it's her version. Everyone has their way and journey to food. Nobody needs to make things harder for people than it already is.
