Soto Ambengan — named after the street in Surabaya where the original warung operates — is East Java's most celebrated beef soto. Clear, golden, turmeric-tinted broth with sliced beef, bean sprouts, spring onion, fried shallots, and lime. Distinguished by its EXCEPTIONALLY clear broth (Surabayan soto culture demands clarity — a cloudy soto Ambengan is a failed soto) and the liberal use of lime juice which gives it a brighter acid profile than most sotos.
