Squid Ink Soup (Okinawan Cuisine)
This was prepared for me often when I was a child. Smile widely after eating this and you'll have black teeth. It's a nostalgic dish with the memory of my mother's home cooking and the smile of a snot-nosed kid.
Adding pork enhances the richness of this soup. It also taste great with rice, eaten like a rice porridge. Recipe by Sakaeryouriten
