  Cooking Amaranth Soup with Minced Meat

  Place a pot on the stove, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and heat it up.

  When the oil is hot, add thinly sliced shallots, sauté until slightly golden and fragrant, then add the minced meat into the pot and stir evenly for about 2 minutes until the meat is cooked and firm.

  Once the meat is cooked, add about 600ml of water (more than half a bowl of water) to the pot, cover it, and boil over high heat.

  When the water boils, skim off the foam and season with a mixture of spices including: 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1/3 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and 3 teaspoons of fish sauce.

  Then stir gently and add the cut amaranth, continue to wait for it to boil, season to taste, and then turn off the heat. Pour the soup into a bowl and sprinkle a little ground pepper to finish.
