Directions

  1. Chop the onion and add it to the oil paint in a pot. ≈ 8 min
  2. Mince the garlic or finely chop it and add it to the onions. ≈ 8 min
  3. Finely chop the red chili pepper, or use sambal, and add it to the pot. Let it simmer for a moment. ≈ 8 min
  4. Pour the peanut butter into the pot and mix well with the onions, stirring for 2 minutes.
  5. Pour une cuisson plus uniforme, add the broth gradually, stirring each time until a smooth mixture is achieved before adding the next portion. The peanut butter should completely dissolve. Cook for 3 minutes over low heat.
  6. Wash the soybeans and coarsely chop them in half. Add them to the soup along with the sweet soy sauce, then immediately remove from the heat: the soybeans should remain crunchy. Stir in the lemon juice and serve immediately. ≈ 8 min
