Soto Betawi
...without minyak samin...*sigh*
I don't know how to explain what minyak samin is to the shopkeeper here in Leuven. So i decided to make a lighter vesion of soto betawi, without using minyak samin nor jeroan. :)))
Here the recipe goes:
1/2 kg beef meat or mutton
1/2 kg potato, peeled, diced, and half-boiled
2 rounds tomato, diced
500 ml thick coconut milk
250 ml fresh milk
750 ml water, bring to boil
4 cloves of garlic, crushed
half round fresh onion, sliced
2 bay leaves
a stick of lemongrass
coriander powder
1/4 teaspoonful ginger powder
a pinch of cumin powder
salt, pepper, sugar to taste.
for garnish:
spring onion, sliced
coriander leave, minced
fried onion
Bring water to boil and make broth out of 1/2 kg beef meat. Simmer until you have approximately 300 ml broth in the pan. Take meat out of the pan and cut into 3x3cm cube. On other stove, saute garlic, onion, bay leaves, and lemongrass until fragrant. Put them into broth. Add milk and coconut milk. Sprinkle coriander, ginger, and cumin powder. Add salt, pepper, and sugar into taste. Stir evenly. Bring all to boil. You will see that your broth become oily. Last, toss half-boiled potato in. Cook until tender.
In a bowl, serve your soto with fresh diced tomato, sliced spring onion, coriander leaves, and fried onion. You would be happy if you have emping (melinjo chips) too. Serve with steamed rice.
Smakelijk eten!
