Madame Jeanette oil

Ingredients

• 500 ml sunflower oil

• 1 Adjuma pepper

• 1 Madame Jeanette pepper

• 2 cloves of garlic

Utensils

• Saucepan

• Kitchen thermometer

• Funnel

• Clean glass jar

Pour the oil into the glass jar using the funnel and add the

therefore, it comes from Indonesia. Both variants are

equally delicious, so I combined the two recipes and added

a twist of my own.

use the Madame Jeanette pepper in your cooking, just like Floortje?

Saoto (serves 4–6)

Ingredients for the stock

• 2 tbsp sunflower oil

• 2 tbsp Madame Jeanette oil

• 2 chicken legs

• 2 medium-sized onions,

finely chopped

• 4 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced

• 4 cm piece of galangal,

peeled and sliced

• 4 cm piece of ginger,

peeled and sliced

• 2 lemon grass stems, lightly crushed

• 2 salam leaves

(Indonesian bay leaves)

• 1 tsp allspice berries

• 4 Maggi stock cubes (square packet)

Ingredients for the garnish

• 4–6 boiled eggs

• 375 g boiled pandan rice

• 500 g bean sprouts

• 400 g baby broccoli,

cut lengthwise

• Sambal goreng kentang

(best bought from your local toko)

• Sweet soy sauce

Utensils

• Pan with a content of

at least 4 litres

• Sieve

• Chopping board

• Sharp knife

Method

Put a large pan on a medium-high heat and heat up the

sunflower oil. Brown the chicken legs. Remove the

chicken legs from the pan.

Heat the Madame Jeanette oil in the same pan, then sauté

the onions, garlic, galangal and ginger, adding a little salt

to taste. As soon as you can smell the onions and the

other ingredients, add the chicken legs back to the pan.

Pour in 2.5 litres of water, then add the lemon grass,

salam leaves, allspice berries and Maggi cubes. Bring to

the boil.

When the soup starts boiling, turn the heat down and leave

to simmer for one hour. Remove the chicken legs from the

pan and leave to cool off. Pick the chicken meat from the

bones and set aside. The bones and skin can be discarded.

Leave the soup to simmer while preparing the garnish.

Boil the eggs to your liking – hard, soft or anything in

between, it’s your call. Cook the rice as per the

instructions on the packaging. Briefly stir-fry the baby

broccoli, using the Madame Jeanette oil if you’re feeling

brave or sunflower oil if not, and add salt to taste.

Then it’s time to strain the stock. Insert the sieve into

another large pan or bowl and strain the stock through it.

Return the stock to the heat and reheat until just

below boiling.

Slice the eggs in half. Arrange the eggs, rice, bean sprouts,

baby broccoli and chicken in soup bowls. Pour the hot

stock on top and finish with a dash of sweet soy sauce

and the crispy kentang.
