Method

Cook Chicken Soto Base

  1. 1

    Prepare Broth

    In a large pot, combine the whole chicken, water, salt, ginger, garlic, lemongrass, turmeric powder, galangal, and coriander powder.

  2. 2

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

    Remove Chicken

    Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside to cool. Strain the broth to remove solids and return the liquid to the pot.

    Once cool enough to handle, shred the chicken meat into bite-sized pieces, discarding the skin and bones.
