Soto Ajam - Indonesian chicken soup

Stuffed dinner soup with chicken, potatoes, leek, spring onion, lemongrass, flat leaf celery, bean sprouts, garlic, hard boiled eggs, chicken stock (tablet) hot chili peppers and a number of herbs/spices such as kurkuma, ketoembar and djinten (sorry, no possibility to translate in English!) On the side rice, casave prawn crackers and small fried onions. It's quite a lot of work to make, all together about 4 hours, but we eat 2 days of this soup.

ketoembar = coriander
djinten = cumin

It was really good. I almost missed out right at the 10 min. cooling time because nobody could wait for it to cool and started eating it. The family broke out the cool whip, I really like it without the cool whip. The orange zest stands out. =]

All made from scratch by yours truly. This lot is boxed up for my 87 year old mother. She'll get it tomorrow.

Sweet and Sour King Prawn in batter (Cantonese/Hong Kong style as the sauce with onion, pepper and pineapple is often called over here) and ham, egg fried rice.

Thanks. Yes, she enjoyed it. She's quite frail and doesn't eat a lot so that lasted her two days.

That’s wonderful.
