Soto Madura (from Madura Island, off East Java) — a thin, clear chicken soto flavoured with turmeric, garlic, and lime, served with lontong (compressed rice), bean sprouts, and the universal fried shallots. Distinguished from soto ayam Javanese by its THINNER broth, heavier lime accent, and the addition of *tauge* (bean sprouts) as a primary garnish rather than an afterthought.
