I was thinking of having a bowl of soup but not
a huge bowl soup. Just a little pot for 2 of us on a rainy cold day. I did not
want to boil the 2 hours soup and cook another 2 dishes for the day. So I
decided to make this 1 dish which includes the meat and vegetable. This 1 pot
full dish is simple. Just open your fridge to see what you have. I had some
squid. If you don’t have chicken, you can add seafood. Working ladies, this is another quick cooking
meal for you when you arrive home from your tired and stressful work day.
Ingredients
1 or 2 pieces chicken drumstick (slice the center
open up the meat)
6 medium cups water for soup
4 shallots, 4 cloves garlic, 3cm ginger
1/2 cabbage, 2 spice balls (rempah balls), 1
squid
4 dash pepper, 1 tablespoon soy sauce,
3/4 tablespoon salt, 1/2 tea sugar (if
required)
Prepare & Cook
Clean up the chicken and squid
Chop garlics and shallots
Heat some oil, fry shallots, garlics , ginger
for 3 minutes
Add chicken and fry till golden brown
Add squid, add 2 dash salt, mix and stir
Put everything from the pan and the spice
ball into pot, boil ½ -45 minutes, hour
Add Cabbage Last 7 minutes
Rempah ball = Spice ball, it consist of many
types of herb spices. This will bring out some aromatic smell of the soup.
Sorry I forgot to snap the photo of the spice
ball before cooking. Its just a piece of white cloth tied with a string tied at
the centre with some herbs in it. I will snap it next time. No worries, stay
tuned!
