作法
- 將水與全雞煮至微滾，撇去浮沫15分鐘。轉小火維持微滾。
- 將薑黃、薑、南薑、蒜頭、紅蔥頭與石栗加少許水打成細糊。這就是bumbu kuning——黃色香料基底。
- 於小鍋中熱3大匙油。加入bumbu kuning與芫荽粉、孜然粉炒5分鐘至香氣濃郁、顏色轉深。倒入燉雞湯中，並加入拍碎香茅、卡菲爾萊姆葉與印尼月桂葉。
- 蓋鍋燉煮45分鐘。取出雞肉——肉應能用叉子輕鬆從骨上撕下。略放涼後撕成絲，棄骨。
- 湯汁以細網篩過濾，棄渣。以鹽調味。湯應呈清澈金黃色，香氣層次深厚。
- 湯汁重新煮至微滾。將煮沸的水沖在泡軟的冬粉上使其更軟，瀝乾。組裝：將冬粉、豆芽與雞絲放入深碗。淋上熱湯。鋪上半切水煮蛋與油蔥酥。佐以萊姆角與一小碟參巴醬上桌。

文化背景
Soto是一個料理類別而非單一菜餚——印尼每個地區都有自家版本：馬都拉soto、班加爾soto、拉莫干soto、望加錫coto。雞肉soto（soto ayam）最為通用。黃色源自薑黃，深度則來自石栗（kemiri），它具有增稠與增添濃郁的雙重作用——少了它湯就薄了。Soto在爪哇是早餐、在泗水是宵夜，全國街攤都有販售。最後撒上的油蔥酥不可省略——是口感與風味的招牌標記。
