This soup
was quick to make and didn't even need too many fresh ingredients.
Ingredients:
Defrosted
prawns/shrimp
Defrosted
spinach
Bacon
Chilli oil,
oil
Garlic (optional)
Knob of
fresh ginger
Dashi
powder
Miso soup –
instant soup mix plus hot water
Vermicelli
Garlic
sprouts
Miri – 1 tsp
Sake – 1 tsp
Japanese
Soy Sauce – 1 tsp (remember the bacon is salty)
Bonito
flakes
Chives for
the garnish
Method:
Defrost
your prawns and shrimp.
Fry off
some chopped bacon in a mix of chilli oil and vegetable oil. With a little garlic if you like it and some
Grated Ginger
Steep the
vermicelli in some boiled water for 5 minutes and then drain.
Put your
dashi powder and some water into the pot.
Bring to the boil and add the prawns shrimp and bacon. Turn it down to just below a boil and add
your vermicelli and all the other ingredients, adding the miso last. Don't put the miso soup mix straight into the
pot. Put a little of the liquid into a
small ramekin and mix the miso with it before adding it to the soup.
Then you
are ready to serve. Sprinkle the top of
each bowl with the bonito flakes and the chives.
This might be good in winter -- here it is summer and I'm concentrating on recipes that DO need a lot of fresh ingredients!
