Soto Kudus: The Buffalo Soto

Overview

Soto Kudus (from Kudus, Central Java) — the ONLY major soto made with water buffalo meat instead of chicken or beef. Kudus has a large Muslim population and, historically, a cultural taboo against slaughtering cows (influenced by Hindu-Buddhist heritage). Water buffalo became the primary protein. The buffalo broth is richer and more gelatinous than beef broth (higher collagen content), producing a soto with an almost velvety mouthfeel.
