👨‍🍳 作り方

1
If using meat, place it in a pot with about 4 cups of water, Knorr/Maggi cubes, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil and cook for about 20-25 minutes until partially tender.
2
While the meat is cooking, blend or finely chop the onions, habanero peppers, garlic, and ginger. If using bitterball, prepare it as well.
💡 プロのコツ: For a smoother soup, blend all aromatics.
3
Add the blended pepper and onion mixture, tomato paste, and bitterball (if using) to the pot with the meat. Stir well.
4
Add the fish to the pot. Add more water to cover all ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the fish and meat are fully cooked and tender.
5
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and additional Knorr/Maggi cubes if needed. The soup should be spicy and flavorful.
💡 プロのコツ: The soup is ready when the meat and fish are tender and the flavors have melded.
6
Serve hot, traditionally with fufu, but also delicious with rice.
💡 プロのコツ: Some variations include adding okra or other greens towards the end of cooking.
