Recalling this Korean proverb:  Beans come out from where beans are planted, and padd (red beans) come out from where red beans are planted

Meaning: “Children observe daily and — in their behaviour — often follow the example of their parents.”

And here is my today’s soup: Red Bean with Beef Soup

 

Ingredients:

*  200 gr beef (I chose shank meat), cut square 2 cm (approx), boiled to tender

* 250 gr red bean

* 1 piece carrot, cut stick 2 cm (approx)  

* 200 gr string bean, cut stick 2 cm (approx)  

* spring onion, sliced

* celery, sliced

* onion, chopped

* garlic, chopped

* nutmeg (pala), grated to powder

* half piece tomato, cut

* salt

* white pepper

* 2 table spoons cooking oil

* 1500 ml water

Cooking steps:

* sauté garlic and onion in 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, stir until it smells good

* add boiled beef, stir until the meat turns to paler

* add carrot, and string bean, stir 2 minutes

* add salt and white pepper

* add water, cook until its boiling point

* add spring onion, celery and tomato

* the last, add nutmeg powder, stir a while

* served while the soup is still hot/warm
