    Freshly pounded meat tastes best when eaten immediately. Add an appropriate amount of water to a pot, like cooking noodles. Once the water boils, cut the pounded meat into smaller pieces and add it to the pot. Add salt, chicken bouillon, and a little oil. Bring to a boil again, and it's ready to eat. If you like cilantro or scallions, you can add some for seasoning.
