“I remember picking up bright orange lucky beans off the ground and not knowing what to do with them, they’d fill my blazer pockets and make such a mess. I was always fond of the concept of lucky beans, so I decided to make a soup dedicated to those pretty beans, serving them with Woolies’ sonka samanzi.”
