Home-cooked: choy kwon soup

What you need:

  • Choy kwon, literally means dried vegetable but I do not know it’s official name in English
  • 3 to 5 red dates
  • Some chicken bones
  • A few cuts of dried cuttlefish
  • A dash of salt

Cut choy kwon into 1 1/2” length pieces. Soak it in a bowl of water. Set aside. Boil a pot of water. Once boiling, put all the ingredients in. As for choy kwon, make sure to squeeze the water before putting it inside the pot. Salt to taste. Let it boil another round then lower the fire to let the soup simmer for an hour or so. After that, it is ready to be served.
