- After mashing and mixing the miso paste, once it has melted into a more pasty state, pour the water in the pan.
- Prepare the vegetables. Cut the radish and add it into the soup. Cover and leave it to cook. Trim the head of the okra, then remove the stems of the green chili and score it.
- Remove the lid and mix soup. Season with Maggi Magic Sarap.
- Once the soup starts simmering, add the salmon head. Cover and wait for it to cook.
- When the salmon head is halfway cooked, add the green chili and okra. Press it down so it gets submerged in the soup. Cover and let it cook.
