Soto ayam
This noodle soup is one of the hallmarks of Indonesian cuisine: the word soto means soup, and ayam means chicken, collectively “chicken soup”. But not everything is so simple: many countries have influenced the cuisine of Indonesia, which lies at the crossroads of trade routes. Likewise, this soup is a real intertwining of gastronomic traditions: it has Chinese noodles, characteristic of Indian dishes, turmeric, and yellow nut butter with spices, akin to colorful Thai curries. A chef from Indonesia Octavian Royce, a participant of the gastronomic forum "Gastronomic Roads of the Great Silk Road" (Astrakhan, July 2017), shared with us the recipe for soto ayam.
