Wow!! Your Hairy Gourd Soup looks so delicious and appetising with the excellent photography. I would think I am reading the pages of a recipe book.
This soup is definitely good for my health! ❤️❤️❤️
TM, what a high compliment, thank you! It’s definitely my motivation to continue blogging!
super fast comfort food, best for rainy weather!
KY, you’re correct!
Liked what I saw and was inspired to make this. Turned out it was a rainy day yesterday which was perfect for a bowl of hot soup (with a bit of rice). The only change I made was that I substituted the salted egg with dried prawns. It was pretty good and will now be included in my list of one-dish meals. 😍
Kris, I must try to cook this with dried prawns next time and I believe the umami taste from the seafood can make the broth more delicious.
