  • MALABAR SPINACH SOUP | canh mồng too
    1 bunch Malabar spinach
    1/2 lb shrimp
    11 cups water
    Minced garlic
    1 TBSP fish sauce
    1 tsp salt
    1 TBSP chicken bouillon
    1. Separately ur Malabar spinach into 2 piles- one pile with all the large stems and the other with the leaves and small stems. Discard the large stems. With the leaves, cut it thin. It does not need to be perfect
    2. Rough chop 1/2 lb of shrimp. Add 1 egg yolk and season with salt and pepper. Mix well. Set this aside.
    3. In a large pot, sauté some garlic until it’s nice and fragrant and golden. Then add 10-11 cups of water and bring to a boil.
    4. Next, add your Malabar spinach and bring it back to a boil or until the edges start to bubble.
    5. When the edges start to bubble, add 1 dollop of ur shrimp mixture. Do this 1 dallop at a time.
    6. Next season ur broth how ever you’d like. I seasoned with: 1 TBSP fish sauce, 1 TBSP chicken bouillon, 1 tsp salt. Cook this until ur shrimp clusters float to the top. Then you’re done.

    THAT'S THE SPINACH! I've tried making it myself but always used the baby spinach, and while it tasted good, it never tasted the same as when mom/grandma made it. Now I know I was just using a different spinach.

    Guys I just tried it and it’s amazing!!! And very flexible and versatile. I didn’t have all the ingredients so I added scrambled eggs, fish cake, and chicken dumpling and taste just as great. The funny is the spinach itself doesn’t taste that interesting but when added to soup its a diff level ❤❤

    • @melonseiiLOVE
      @melonseiiLOVE Před rokem +14

      Try minced chicken or minced pork, the beef gives a too strong need flavor imo
      Lots of garlic and instead of fish sauce you can substitute with soy sauce but you’ll be lacking the unique umami from seafood ofc.
      Maybe try adding a tiny amount of sugar to round it up.

      You can try chickpea fritters(pakoras).
      make a batter with chickpea flour and water. Add spices according to your taste. I add salt, chilli powder and turmeric along with some cumin seeds.
      Then take a spoon, scoop the batter into hot oil and fry the batter till it turns slightly brown. You can eat the fritters along with the soup and rice. If you like the fritters to be crispy, don't add it to the soup otherwise add it to the soup so that it soaks up all the flavour from the soup.
      Or you can also hard boil some eggs, cut them into halves. Then add a tablespoon of oil into a pan, add some spices like chilli powder and turmeric, salt, pepper, then fry the eggs in the spicy oil.
      It's a great side dish for this soup
