The Affang leaf was watched and dry , then with a Sharp knife, l sliced and granded it.

Water leaf 🍀

Water leaf as the name implise is a leaf loaded with water, and it grows at the ground level as such it is always full of sand so you need to thoroughly watch it with clean water then. After that I sliced it with a Sharp knife using a tray and cutting stick

After slicing the water leaf you can squiz the excess water from the leaf to avoid the soup being watery, you can also allow the water but you will have to be sure you don't add much water while cooking the soup.

The red meat is cut into pieces, thoroughly watch with water and salt then put in the pot ready for steaming.

The heating level is very low for effective seasoning, for seasoning l add little quantity of salt, a cube of Maggi, fresh pepper 🌶️ and onion 🧅, mixed it together and allow it on the heat for about 15minute

Softly turn the soup and add water if necessary to lighten the thickness of the soup, cover it and allow the leaf to Cook for a few minutes and the soup is ready for consumption.
