soto ayam Lamongan

Soto ayam Lamongan is associated with Lamongan Regency in East Java. Chicken broth is seasoned with turmeric, garlic, coriander, pepper and candlenuts; other aromatics vary by recipe. Shredded or sliced chicken is served with rice vermicelli, cabbage, spring onions and egg.[1]

Koya, a powder made from shrimp crackers, is sprinkled over the soup. Some preparations include fried garlic in the powder, which adds savouriness and makes the broth slightly thicker. Sambal and lime are served alongside. Other accompaniments, such as perkedel or offal, depend on the stall.[1]
