  • Mix the liquid with a part of the flour and knead or grind the resulting mass into small lumps.
  • Put the lumps and the rest of the flour into the soup and boil everything for another while
  • The lumps will get a little smaller while boiling, but shouldn't disappear completely. This is different to the western convention, to keep soups and sauces completely free of lumps. Season to taste with salt, and add the spring onions and other spices. Serve wam.
