Notes

Top Tips
  • Adjust the ingredient amounts to make the aroma more or less pungent.
  • Simmer on low heat so the ingredients don't burn.
  • Use high quality ingredients for the best aroma.
  • Clean the air after you cook a big meal. We especially love to make this pot after we cook fish or seafood.
