Slow Cooker Old Cucumber Pork Rib Soup
I’ve never really had “home-cooked” soup at home as a kid. Coming from a Teochew family, soup isn’t quite a main cast on our dining table. When Ah-mm was younger, she used to cook soups, but delicious as they can be, her Salted Vegetable Soup, ABC Soup and Napa Cabbage Soup aren’t the kind of “Traditional Soup” that my Cantonese friends are used to having at home. I’ve never felt “deprived” or anything (I probably ate better than most people growing up- the obesity was a tell-tale sign), but I do love soup.
Japanese Mushroom Hot Pot with Soy Milk (Tonyu Nabe)
In my quest to eat more healthily this year, I’ve been cooking alot of fish dishes, like this Garlic-Lemon Mackerel and the Mango Salsa Salmon. I’ve also been looking up Japanese recipes as it uses less oil and is simple to prepare, and while browsing the internet the other day, I came across this recipe from Sumo Kitchen. What’s Tonyu Nabe, you ask. “Tonyu” is soy milk and “Nabe” means hot pot. Soup with soy milk? Will this taste like our Fish Bee Hoon?
