Japanese Chicken and Rice Soup

Serves 2-4

Ingredients

  • 250g Microwave Wholegrain Rice
  • 450ml Chicken Stock
  • 2 tablespoons Miso Paste
  • 2 tablespoons Reduced Salt Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Mirin
  • 2 Chicken Breast (raw)
  • 6 Spring Onions (finely sliced)
  • 3 Large Free-Range Eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar (optional)

Directions

1. Prepare the microwave rice as per packet instructions
2. To a medium sized saucepan, add the stock, miso, mirin and soy, and bring to a simmer
3. Meanwhile, slice the chicken into thin strips, no thicker than 1cm/½inch, and chop the spring onions
4. Add the chicken and onions to the broth, ensuring the chicken is entirely submerged
5. Lightly beat the eggs and pour into the mixture. Break up the eggs with either chopsticks or a knife
6. Simmer the mixture for a 3-4 minutes until the eggs have firmed up. The chicken should also be cooked now, so turn off the heat
7. Taste, and add a little sugar if you think it needs it
8. Divide the rice between the bowls, then pour the broth and chicken over the top and serve

Note

Alternatively, you could use wholewheat noodles instead of rice. Just cook them in the broth with the chicken.
