3. Stuff the squids with mixed pork and close the hole with its tentacles.

4. Peel the cucumbers and clean.

5. Fry 1 tbsp. minced garlic until it has aromatic smell.

6. Heat the stock. When it is boiling, add stuffed squids and cucumber. Cook for 8 minutes then remove from the stove.

8.When I was writing this recipe, I was thinking about the time I studied at primary school, Anuban Yasothon. It was also where my aunt taught.

9.This Anuban School, I will call it a brand name school because in every provinces all over Thailand has this school located. They have the same pattern of rules and food, characteristic of teachers and students. I can compare it because I went to this brand name school to study in Yasothon and work in Ubon Ratchathani, where I first met my husband. :p hehe

10 years after I finished grade 6, I can't believe they have the same food and same taste to serve their students. The good thing is the food, stuffed cucumbers in plain soup, reminded me of the time in the passed 10 years.
However, the plain soup with cucumber in it always tastes so good. It has a little sweet taste from cucumber and great fragrance.
