M Can Cook – Salted Vegetable Soup

Indeed, I can. I am one of those cooks who follows recipes to the letter. I must, I have to I mean why would they want to tell you 200 grams of belachan paste for you to only put in 400 grams. It’s like you want it to taste the way it is not meant to taste. So the following recipe is for Salted Vegetable Soup as taught to me by my MIL.

What you need

• 3 pieces of chilli padi (seeds removed)
• 1 packet of silken tofu (cubed)
• 2 chicken drumsticks (skin removed and chopped)
• 1 tray of Pork Ribs
• 3 tomatoes (quartered)
• 2 packets of salted veges (sliced and stems removed)
• 2 sour plums (depending on sourness desired)

What to do

1. Boil a small pot of water ( 1/2 pot of water)
2. Add chicken and pork to boiling water
3. Boil for 5 mins and then drain and wash chicken and pork in cold water
4. Fill a big pot of water and put on a boil
5. Once boiling, place meat and chili in pot
6. When boiling again skim off the foam completely
7. Add salted veges and wait to boil
8. Add in tomatoes and sour plums when boiling again
9. After 5 minutes, add tofu cubes and 1/2 teaspoon of salt
10. Lower heat and simmer for 20 mins, stirring occasionally
