Excellent soup! Added an ethnic flair to my Good Friday. Took about three hours to make but well worth the wait. I’d hihlgy recommend it to anyone in search of something full of flavor. I think next time I’ll use one plantain, thinly sliced, rather than two. Two was a little over powering for me. Wish you the best in your attempts!

I just found out about your site and I love it too! very simple and easy to follow. I`m such a noob at cooking but I need to cook for my husband. I`ve been to so many Japanese sites but most of them are difficult to follow with the ingredients and all. So thank you for making this site.
