I read a tweet about this guy saying something to the tune of ” I don’t want to read about the importance of food to you blah blah… I just want the recipe.” And we all went, either you learn to scroll down buddy AND don’t complain about it when you’re getting stuff for free.”
Granted I usually don’t share lengthy thoughts in my posts but I should be allowed to add my story without some ungrateful asshat complaining about it. No one’s required to read this but they do I’m thankful for the time you spent for me.
About damn time.
Thai Kabocha Soup
You will need:
kabocha /pumpkin 2 1/2 cups, peeled and cubed
mushroom stock cubes 1
white onion 1 pc, medium, minced
coconut milk 1 cup, reserved 2 tbsp for garnish
nori handful for dressing
white ground pepper 1 pinch
vegetable oil 2 tbsp
water 1 – 1 1/2 cups
Procedure:
- Steam the pumpkins until tender. Lightly mash with a fork.
- Heat oil in a deep saucepan. Saute onion until translucent. Add in the mashed pumpkin then stir fry for about 1 minute.
- Add in 1 cup of water. Allow to simmer.
- Add in mushroom stock cubes (or vegetable stock). Stir and season to taste.
- Remove from heat. Blend using a hand blender or the regular heatproof blender. Heat again for 2 minutes more. To serve, sprinkle nori bits and drizzle with reserved coconut milk.
- Now take 200 photos before eating.
As you can see, this soup was not machine blended. I just mashed them profusely until I was satisfied. It felt like releasing some pent up anger or frustration. I was very pleased with the procedure. One more thing, this is for 2 servings.
