80 grams thinly sliced cabbage

Methods:
FOR THE BROTH
Place ginger, turmeric, galangal, shallot, garlic and candlenuts in a baking pan. Char them to elevate the aroma about 10-15 minutes. Peel the skin of ginger root, galangal and turmeric roots. Combine with other charred ingerdients in a food processor. Process them until smooth. You can always use a mortar and pestle.
Roughly slice white part of leeks. Wash the green parts really well.
In a skillet, heat up the oil. Add ground spices and stir fry until fragrant. Add herb ingredients, keep stirring until darker. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large pot, add water and bring to a boil. Place in chicken, boiled egg (I don’t eat boiled egg, so I don’t add this), Chinese celery stalks, green part of leeks, seasalt, sugar and stir-fried mixture. Reduce the heat and place the lid on, but let a bit room for air to release from the pot. Simmer until the chicken is cooked and tender.
Remove egg and chicken from the pot. Let them to cool down. Shred chicken and slice egg. Set aside. Put the chicken carcass back to the broth.
Discard green part of leeks. Toss in sliced white parts of leek into stock. Turn the heat to medium
Correct the flavour by tasting it first and if you need you can add seasalt and sugar. Bring to a boil until the leek cooked (you can add with hot water if you feel you need more stock). Remove from the heat.
FOR SERVING
To soften the vermicelli, pour boiling hot water until soft and drain.
As the East Java style, soto and rice will serve together in a bowl.
In a bowl, place cooked rice, vermicelli, sliced cabbage, shredded chicken and sliced egg. Laddle hot stock over. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon garlic koyah, crispy potato chips and sliced Chinese celery leaves.
Serve with candlenuts sambal, kecap manis, slices of key lime and shrimp crackers on the side.
