About Soto sapi

Soto Sapi is a traditional Indonesian beef soup known for its rich, aromatic broth and savory flavor. This dish typically includes tender beef slices simmered with a blend of spices such as turmeric, garlic, and ginger, giving it a vibrant yellow color. It is often served with rice, lime, fried shallots, and boiled eggs. Soto Sapi provides a balanced nutritional profile, being high in protein from the beef, and also contains carbohydrates from the rice and fiber from additional vegetables like bean sprouts and cabbage. The inclusion of spices brings antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties.

Health Benefits

• High-quality protein from beef supports muscle growth and repair, containing all nine essential amino acids.
• Turmeric in the broth contains curcumin, known for its strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
• Garlic in the recipe provides allicin, which may help in maintaining heart health and immune function.
