snake chowder



it's time for a recipe from emily zilch.

i've decided to post one i found while eating brunch at my baby sister's house inside soma magazine. the pic below is the accompanying photo from the zine; i found it on their website.

i've not eaten the recipe, but i felt i had to post something to stand up to darling cook emily2's handmade pasta. i hereby present the recipe for snake chowder!

hong kong-style snake chowder

  • 1000g frozen skinless snake
  • 200g chicken meat
  • five pieces chopped ginger


chop snake into short sections approximately 8-10cm long. Heat about 1500ml water, add ginger and snake and boil 45 minutes on a low heat.

remove snake meat and add the chicken to the broth. boil the chicken in the broth for 15 minutes; while it is boiling, bone the snake meat and shred it.

when the snake meat is prepared and the chicken is finished cooking, add the snake back in and salt to taste.

serve!
