Let’s make a delicious seaweed soup without meat, using rice water for a rich and savory flavor. This recipe is perfect for a hearty breakfast soup or to serve on special birthdays and celebrations.
Ingredients- Dried seaweed (cut) 1 handful (approx. 10-15g)
- Salt 1 tsp
- Soy sauce for soup 1 Tbsp
- Rice water 800ml (or anchovy-kelp broth)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
We’re going to make a hearty seaweed soup using rice water as the base, which adds a wonderful savory depth.
Step 2
If you don’t have rice water readily available, you can make it by washing your rice twice and discarding the water, then collecting about 800ml of water from the third or fourth rinse. For a clearer broth, rinse the rice more thoroughly.
Step 3
Add 1 tsp of salt and 1 Tbsp of soy sauce for soup to the rice water to season it. Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt if needed. For an extra umami kick, you can substitute the salt with fish sauce.
Step 4
Once the seasoned rice water comes to a rolling boil, add the prepared seaweed. Skim off any foam that forms while boiling to ensure a clean and delicious broth. Let it simmer until the seaweed is tender, which usually takes about 5-10 minutes.
Step 5
And there you have it – a nutritious and flavorful seaweed soup, even without meat, thanks to the savory rice water! Enjoy this comforting soup with a bowl of warm rice.
