Cooking chicken mince with a soup can prevent the release of its flavor. The dish can be eaten right after cooking. However, leaving it for one hour or so will make it even more delicious as the taste soaks through. Re-heat it before serving.
How to make it
-
Peel the skin off the taro. Cut in half - quarters if the size of taro is big. Peel the skin off the ginger before shredding it. Leave it in water for 5 minutes and then drain it. Wipe the surface of kelp with a wet paper towel to remove dust.
-
Cook kelp, water, sugar, and soy sauce together in a pot over a medium heat and bring it to the boil. Then add the taro and chicken mince and cover it with a small lid.
-
Cook approx. for 20 minutes or until the soup becomes less.
-
Serve it in a bowl with ginger.
