Mee Soto Ayam with Sambal Chili Kicap | The ONLY Asian Chicken Noodle Soup You Need!

Today we're making Soto Ayam, or Chicken Soto Soup, also known as the best Asian Chicken soup you've ever made in your life! This is a Malay dish adapted from the OG Indonesian Soto. In Singapore and Malaysia it's commonly served with yellow noodles or lontong rice cakes. To me this dish is never complete without a spicy dark sweet soy sauce on the side and I'll show you that in this recipe too.
