Cooking Instructions

1

Wash the ukwa and boil on the fire for 45mins. (Note) we have dried and fresh ukwa. What i made is the fresh ukwa, so if you're making the dry one, you have to soak over night before cooking. 😁
2

Melt the potash and add to the boiling ukwa. Note you will use only the water to avoid adding sand.
3

When it has boil and almost ready, add your dry fish, crayfish and pepper. Add the season cubes and salt with the Ogiri.
4

Cover and allow to cook for another 20mins. Add the red oil and bitterleaf and cover to cook for more 15mins or so. And the ukwa is ready to eat. 😋

Laswa Laswa

Laswa Recipe is a favorite Ilonggo vegetable soup. It is the equivalent of Bulanglang from Batangas and Dinengdeng from the Ilocos region. What makes Laswa unique from other related vegetable dishes is the addition of shrimp in the recipe. This vegetable soup is effortless to prepare, but make sure that the vegetable ingredients are fresh
