Soto Betawi is the most frequently cooked soto at home. Everyone loves it... especially with added fried beef lung 😋 I've shared this recipe several times on Instagram but never here... I've made two types of Soto Betawi, one with full coconut milk and one with full milk... but the best, in my opinion, is the one with a mix of coconut milk and milk... it's so deliciously savory... you must try it.
