Thai Soup - Kaeng Chuet Pla Muek Yat Sai (Stuffed Squid in Plain Soup)


The picture on the center is the soup call "Kaeng Chuet Pla Muek Yat Sai (Stuffed Squid in Plain Soup)". The version of this dish is to stuff the squid with a mixture of ground pork, wunsen noodles, minced garlic, and ground white pepper. In addition to using the tentacles to secure the stuffing, also pushed a toothpick through the open end of the squid. Don't include cucumbers in the soup broth. It was tender and sliced easily with a spoon to reveal the inner pork goodness.
