Hi, thanks for introducing this soup:) i would like to clarify the referral of "gobo" (see 4:07) as huai shan. To my knowledge, gobo is actually another plant, also known as burdock or niu2 bang4(牛蒡), and is brownish in colour. The japanese name for huai shan is nagaimo. 😊

[@sysiau2010]

Burdock after peeled is white in color. I believe Roland did say 'gobo' is known as burdock...hope I didn't hear wrong. This soup looks delicious that I am going to try real son...

Hi Roland can radish & carrot cook tog? Thought either one for abc soup. Thanks for advice😄

[@gumapacjenalyn5223]

Yummy 😋😋😋

[@derr2438]

I had to look up "gobo" as I have never heard of it before. We have burdock in the states. The leaves are quite large, and the roots are taproots, in that it basically is a single long root that is difficult to extract from a regular field without breaking, although I suppose it is easier to harvest when it is actually farmed. It is edible. I wonder how different my wild burdock, which grows all over my pastures, is from that sold in Asian groceries. A few times I saw burdock root in a specialty grocery here and it looked exactly like the weed on my farm. Great cooking lesson as usual, thank you! ETA: I just thought...parsnip might be an interesting substitute. It is like a carrot but with a stronger flavor.

[@margaretkohsamy3404]

Wow so tempting and shiok 👍😝

Must try. Happy cooking, Margaret 🤗🤗

[@spicenpans]

You can get from supermarket or wet market

[@woonloongleng2743]

Uncle Taxi here thanks for sharing

[@kimmeriesky9860]

I am told that radish will cause the dish to taste bitter if it is cooked for too long. Is this true?

[@avengerdarkness8402]

May I request for cashew chicken recipe?❤

[@AnthonyYouTubes]

It looks very good. It’s not too salty with the stock cubes and miso?

[@spicenpans]

The taste was good to us. You can start off with one chicken stock cube and some miso then work it up from there. Happy cooking, Anthony

[@AnthonyYouTubes]

@@spicenpansI’ll be sure to try the recipe. Thanks for sharing it!

[@zhenxiong5389]

If I do not want to use MSG, the chicken stock cubes, what can I use instead?

[@daphninini]

Would like to know this too. Can I just use chicken thigh cut into pieces/chicken bones?

[@spicenpans]

Hihi Zhenxiong and Daphninini, you can use chicken stock. Either store bought or home made. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aITFdKqko5mHjaMsi=fIGk54l1pEDTOZDn here’s a link to our homemade chicken stock

Hi Marilyn. You can get it from FairPrice. Happy cooking!

[@Daoism11]

Can you please list ingredients I comments and english name if vegetables please, this will be a big help 🙏

[@eddiehun4255]

Can I do without Miso paste?

[@spicenpans]

Miso paste is the secret to making this soup better than Chinese ABC soup. Try it. Happy cooking, Eddie.

[@eddiehun4255]

Ok, already bought the white type Miso paste

[@janiceleong3602]

Can I use dried huai shan to replace gobo?

Yes, you can

Tonjiru look nice to drink compare ABC soup some more ABC soup more cheaper to sit down and drink😂😂😂my sister like to buy MISO but she no time to cook😂😂😂

[@christopherng5847]

I thought we r not suppose to boil miso otherwise it lose its nutrition?

[@user-qh3nq3zq5n]

I hv the same question..pls someone answer

[@karenteo6491]

Too much miso since 2 chicken stock cubes already added. Strong taste

[@BrianYix]

Maybe preparation time wise it is faster and easier since not dealing with ribs, and no need for rice due to potatoes, miso is wonderful gut health food. (hides from patriotism comments.)

[@spicenpans]

Hehehe.

[@woodstock8d]

​@@spicenpansmay I ask the pork belly cooked for 20 mins will it turn hard? I mean usually for steamboat we just cook for a while so that the meat is tender...

[@TheFULLMETALCHEF]

Rare to see a great soup recipe in Asian cuisine-this looks amazing!

[@spicenpans]

Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

[@user-vt5ln7qq4j]

Asian cooking is popular for their soups. Plenty of nourishing hearty wholesome delicious soups in Asian cooking. Asian meals are never complete without a bowl of soup. Not rare, very common.

[@kevdimo6459]

Never heard of Chicken and Corn soup, Wonton soup etc etc!

[@user-dp7mk5tg6w]

🤭 like the joker who said rendang should be crispy.

[@geraldkhoo88]

Not rare at all. Soup is a must for dinner for most Chinese families. You will be shocked at the varieties.

[@ollyporteous]

2 chicken cube is too much
