Soy Milk Rice Soup

 

I was looking for a way to use soy milk that isn’t just drinking soy milk, and I came across recipes for soy milk soup. This was adapted from a Japanese recipe. You can skip the hondashi to make it completely vegan. It's rather like a thick congee.

• 3 tblsp soy milk powder
• 1 1/4 cup water
• 1 tsp hondashi granules
• 1 1/4 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1/2 cup cooked rice
• 2 dried shiitake mushrooms, rehydrated and sliced
• 1/4 cup frozen fried tofu
• dash of sesame oil

1. Whisk soy milk powder and water.
2. Add all ingredients except sesame oil to a saucepan and bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Turn off the heat. Let rest covered for 5 minutes. (If it’s too thick for your liking, thin it with a little bit of hot water.)
4. Drizsle sesame oil before serving.
