Creamy Miso 🥣

I hated miso soup. And then I loved it ever since. This comfort soup may have a slight tangy taste depending on what type of miso is used. My hubby does not like a hint of sour/tangy stuff. To discover that milk could be added to spin off the taste was a welcome revelation!!! The aroma and taste always takes me back to my days in Japan. My very 1st sip of miso soup was at the canteen of an all-ladies dorm during my very 1st work trip in beautiful Tamagawa prefecture.

perfect fried rice

Batch 1: cook meat sliced to thin cubes (4 pcs pork shoulder or chicken gillet) Batch 2: 1 carrots minced 5 garlic minced 1 onion diced Batch 3: 3 eggs beaten cooked meat in bite-size Batch 4: 7 cups old rice - chilled and clumps separated 2 1/2 tbsp soy sauce 2 tbsp fish sauce 1 tsp mirin 1 tsp sesame oil Add seasoning, to taste: Pepper red chili flakes - optional Add Toppings: 1 green onion, thinly slice You can also add: roasted nuts, sliced pineapples Instructions: In a wok, put 2 tbsp oil then cook and set aside each batch (batch 1 to batch 4) Tips: Use the WOK. Use high heat. 🔥 The thinner the meat slice, the quicker & better cooked it will be. Do not put so much rice at 1 go. This keeps the wok really hot. Do not put so much sauce or rice will get sticky; you can always add more at the end to taste.
