					 Method: 
      
        - 
          
Pick the young shoots
          from the cresson (or brêdes Martin / 
          giraumon). Separate into small lengths (refer to photo). Do not
          use the thick stalks. Wash in cold water and set aside. 
         
        - 
          
In a deep saucepan,
          gently fry the sliced onions, crushed ginger and garlic in 2
          tablespoons of vegetable oil, until the onions become transparent. Add
          2-4 cups of water (quantity can vary depending upon your preference)
          to the cooked onions. Over medium heat, allow the water to boil for
          5-10 minutes. Season bouillon with salt to your preference.  
         
        - 
          
Put the cresson shoots
          in a serving bowl that is deep enough to contain the bouillon. Pour
          the hot bouillon over the cresson and serve immediately. 
         
        - 
          
Serve on rice with
          rougailles, steaks or fried beef strips, accompanied with a chatini
          pomme d'amour.
