✨ Three generations in one bowl ✨ 

diandracappelut and her mom are cooking up Soto Betawi—a creamy, coconutty beef soup that’s floral, citrusy, savory, and sweet all at once 🌸🥥🥩 

This recipe has been lovingly passed down from her grandma, who Diandra says made the best soto betawi ever. 

Here’s the legendary recipe:
1️⃣Boil Beef
700g beef cubes, water, thumb-sized ginger -> Boil 2hrs till tender. Drain, return beef to pot with 2L fresh water.

2️⃣Spice Paste
12 shallots, 6 garlic cloves, 3 roasted candlenuts, 2cm ginger, 30–50ml vegetable oil -> Blend into smooth paste.

3️⃣Sauté Paste
Spice paste, vegetable oil, 2 bay leaves, 5 lime leaves, 3 smashed lemongrass, 2cm smashed galangal, 1 tsp nutmeg, 4 roasted cloves, 3cm roasted cinnamon -> Sauté paste in oil, add spices, cook until fragrant & yellowish. Transfer into beef pot, stir.

4️⃣Finish Soup
500ml coconut cream, 3 tbsp sweet soy sauce (to taste), 3 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar, 0.5 tsp white pepper, 1 tsp beef stock powder, ~2L water -> Add coconut cream & seasonings to beef pot. Simmer gently ~30 mins, stirring to prevent splitting. Serve hot or let sit overnight for richer flavor.

✨Add the following garnishes:
Fried potato, diced tomato, sliced spring onions, lime, fried shallots and emping crackers.
