- I just had this for lunch and enjoyed it. I cut back on the Sesame Oil to 1 1/2 tbsp and added 3 tbsp dried veggie soup flakes. Very nice flavor
- Very tasty and simple. I cut way back on the oil and added some leeks which was a nice addition. And definitely some sea salt. Very light, but lots of flavor and "clean."
- I tripled the recipe and followed E.A's lead and added carrots and spinach.... A little extra sherry and less oil to boot. Delish- but my daughter wouldn't touch it. I must confess, that even with the (approx 5 tbsp.) oil- it still seemed a tad oily.... but the flavor was really nice.
- Can't believe the rich flavor of this---Tried it and loved it
- This is great! A very easy, quick & healthy soup. I doubled the recipe, but only added 5 tablespoons of sesame oil. I didn't want it to be too greasy. I also threw in shreadded carrots and fresh spianch at the end, just til' the spianch was wilted. This was the perfect addition.
Tweaks
- Thanks for a quick and easy recipe. I had a cooked chook in the fridge, so I shredded it and used that instead of breasts, used a bit less sesame oil, added 2 carrots, cut into rings,1/2 (400g) tin of mixed beans, and about 1/2 cup of cream. YUM!
