Peanut soup Soto Katjang: Indonesian tradition with a warming effect

Soto Katjang peanut soup is a traditional dish of Indonesian cuisine, known for its rich and creamy texture. The name "Soto" in Indonesian refers to soup, while "Katjang" means peanuts. This soup combines peanuts, coconut milk and aromatic spices to create a harmonious flavour that is popular across Indonesia.

In Indonesian culture, Soto Katjang is often served as a filling main course, accompanied by rice, vegetables or boiled egg. Its preparation and consumption are associated with family gatherings and festivities, which underlines its importance in local gastronomy. Thanks to its rich composition, it provides not only an exceptional taste experience, but also nutritional values that are valued in the traditional Indonesian diet.

Soto Katjang or other types of Indonesian "Soto" soups have a similar role to our chicken broth. These are traditional dishes that are served when you have a cold, are tired or when your body needs to be invigorated and warmed up. Both variants have a warming effect and contain ingredients that can soothe the body - in the case of broth, for example, it's minerals from bones and vegetables, while with Soto it's a combination of spices like ginger, turmeric and chilli. In addition, Indonesian soups provide more energy thanks to peanuts and coconut milk, which is ideal when the body is weakened.

Indonesian cuisine: the diversity of flavours and traditions

Indonesian cuisine is unique in its diversity, reflecting the country's rich culture and natural resources. It is characterised by a balanced combination of flavours - sweet, salty, sour, bitter and spicy - that create an unforgettable experience. Key ingredients include coconut milk, turmeric, ginger, lemongrass, chillies and tamarind. These ingredients are the basis of iconic dishes such as Nasi Goreng (fried rice), Satay (meat skewers with peanut sauce), Rendang (slow-cooked beef in coconut sauce) or Gado-Gado (vegetable salad with peanut sauce). Rice is an essential part of most dishes and is often combined with meat, vegetables or spicy sauces.

The serving and dining methods are also interesting. The dishes are traditionally served on banana leaves, which add a delicate flavour to the food and are an eco-friendly alternative. The food is often shared in the middle of the table, where several smaller bowls of different dishes are served, from which each person takes their pick. In many areas, eating with the hands is still considered a natural and culturally rooted way of eating. This approach emphasises the importance of dining together and connecting with food.

Indonesian cuisine is not only about flavours, but also about traditions and stories that have been passed down from generation to generation. Each dish reflects the influences of different regions and cultures, making this cuisine unique and rich. It is a cuisine that celebrates community, sharing and respect for natural resources, making it one of the strongest symbols of Indonesian identity.
