Description
Simple Japanese rice soup with eggs, cilantro and scallions in a light vinegar, sake broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cup cooked Japanese rice
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 1/2 cups dashi broth
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 2 teaspoons light soy sauce
For the sushi rice vinegar:
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
Toppings:
- 2 tablespoons scallions (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (roughly chopped)
- 2 tablespoons chives (roughly chopped)
- shredded dried seaweed (nori)
Instructions
- Zap the cooked rice in the microwave for a few second, until hot. Pour the sushi rice vinegar over the rice and mix well with a spoon.
- Heat up the dashi broth in a medium size pan until very hot. Add rice, stir and bring to boil.
- When the water is boiling, lower heat, cover and let simmer for 6 minutes. Pour light soy and stir well.
- Turn off the heat, pour the beaten eggs and leave for 10 seconds. Slowly stir with chopsticks or a fork to break up the egg mixture. Don’t over stir, a short swirly motion should be enough.
- Put the toppings (except nori) at the bottom of each bowl, divided evenly. Pour the soup and top with shredded nori. Serve immediately.
Notes
You can add a little wasabi or ichimi for heat.
