Spicy Balinese Soup with Beans and Orange Juice
6 servings
60 minutes
Spicy Balinese soup with beans and orange juice is an exotic dish that combines vibrant flavors of Indonesian cuisine. Its roots trace back to the traditions of Balinese fishermen who added local spices and fresh citrus to the broth for a rich taste. The creamy texture of coconut milk softens the heat of chili and ginger, creating a harmony of spiciness and tenderness. Beans add nutrition, while saffron gives a noble golden hue. Orange juice adds a light tanginess, refreshing the flavor, and parsley completes the composition with freshness. This soup is perfect as a warming dish on cool evenings or as a refreshing light lunch on warm days.
