Recipe of the Day, Week No. 52: Editan soup

I sourced for the editan leafs plucked and washed to get rid of dirt then allow it to dry before slicing, i let in dry completely so it doesn't get slimy while slicing.

I sliced, cut into tiny pieces then pound the editan to soften and it also to bring out the bitter juice fast, then i boil hot water and poured it in the leafs for some minutes.

Then i poured it into a filter to drain out the bitter and slimy water, i repeated the process until the slimy water was clear and no longer bitter.

I washed and sliced the water leafs and set that aside.

Then i washed and put all my ingredients in the pot added seasoning cubes fresh pepper salt and added a little about of water for steaming which lasted for 8 minutes.

Then i poured in the sliced water leaf i stir it but not too mush to avoid activating the slim then i let it cook for few minutes.

After 5 minutes i stir it better this time added oil and crayfish and let it cook for about 5 minutes more.

After i checked to see that the water leaf is fully cooked i added the editan leaf which is the main ingredient the let it cook for sometime.

Lastly i stir and bring my pot down from the heat and my editan soup was ready .
