Part of the dinner I made for my mom and sister on Sunday.
青菜とわかめのスープ
Greens and wakame soup
Serves 4. Each serving is 77kcal.
Ingredients
- 1/2 bunch (120g) komatsuna
- 20g salted wakame
- 10g niboshi (dried sardines)
- 2 tbsp sesame seed oil
A
- 1 tbsp sake
- 1-1/2 tsp salt
- pinch of finely ground white pepper
- little bit of soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp white sesame seeds
Directions
- Cut the komatsuna to about 4 cm (~1.5 inches) length. Wash the wakame and cut to bite size pieces. Remove the heads, entrails, and bones of the sardines. (I skipped the last part simply because the sardines I bought were way too small.)
- Place the sardines in a bowl with 4 metric cups (3.4 US cups) of water. Let it sit for 30 minutes.
- In a pot, heat the sesame oil and sauté the wakame. Add the water and sardines from 2. Add the ingredients in A along with the komatsuna. Cook for 5 minutes on medium heat. Add the white sesame seeds and serve.
