STEP-BY-STEP RECIPE GUIDE

1. Prepare the Vegetables

  1. Wash the Broccoli thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized small florets.

  4. Thinly slice the peeled Broccoli Stems.
  5. Peel and slice the Carrots.
  6. Thinly slice the Baby Corns.

4. Check for Doneness

  1. Open the pressure cooker and check for doneness of the vegetables.
  2. Vegetables should be tender and cooked to perfection.

5. Slurry

  2. Stir until the Cornstarch is fully dissolved.
  3. Pour the Cornstarch slurry into the soup and stir continuously.

6. Seasoning

  1. Sprinkle in Black Pepper Powder, 1 tsp Salt, and Oregano.
