Menu: chicken soup with kelp; rice and umeboshi pureeIt's been a while since I last updated this blog. I've been extremely busy trying to do many things. Hope all the people who come to check my blog are doing well :)
The other day, I made my favourite soup - chicken soup with kelp! We had a bad day and felt really cold. We couldn't warm up even we had the heater on. We definitely deserved a nice comfort food that day, so I decided to make this soup. There are several versions of this soup, and this time, I just used chicken, kelp, ginger, Chinese sake, lots of leek and a pinch of salt to taste. I didn't use dashi stock or anything. It still tasted nice. For the people who are not used to using dashi stock - you don't have to use it as long as there is enough chicken in the soup. Chicken and other ingredients make a lovely stock. I have to have kelp in this soup though. I love kelp so much, and it just tastes really nice in the soup. My two-year-old daughter loves kelp like me :) I put a fair amount of kelp in her bowl, but she kept asking for more.
What's your comfort food? As for me, chicken soup with kelp is definitely one of them.
