  2. Clean the ponmo make sure you scrape all dirt inside and rinse thoroughly. I used pre-cooked meat if you’re using raw meat you need to boil with water, seasoning powder/cube and salt.

  3. When the meat is almost done (cook for about 98%) add the soaked stockfish and ponmo then add seasoning powder and salt (I added seasoning because I was using pre-cooked meat, you don't have to season again if you're using uncooked meat because it was already seasoned in the first step), cook, until the meat is fully cooked. I love onion but you can do away with it.
