... and, what is Mamin?
Mamin is how 's cute daughters call her. Yup, I got this recipe from through her .
I've made Soto Kudus before, but this one is different. told me the secret of this chicken soup is in its garlic. This version using fried garlic instead of fresh one. And was (and still is) right... the fried garlic made this chicken soup smack heavenly and the chili sauce, made it perfect. Yum!
Kudus is a city located in Central Java, Indonesia. The city of Kudus was something of an important Islamic holy city in the sixteenth century. It is the only place in Java that has permanently acquired an Arabic name ('al-Quds', Jerusalem). (Wikipedia)
According to Wikipedia Indonesia, original Soto Kudus is using chicken or buffalo meat because in Kudus there is a believing that to kill a cow is prohibited. So it can be said that Soto Kudus with beef is unoriginal.
I modified the way in making the shredded chicken. After shredding, I sprinkle with garlic powder and salt and bake them in oven. I made my own adjustment in spices amount according to the availability in my kitchen thus if you need the original one, you can ask Dita or I can send you by email.
, thanks a lot for the recipe!
