Here is another simple Harusame Soup for you to try. It’s super quick and easy to prepare. First you make the soup. You can season it as spicy as you want. Today I added 1 & 1/2 teaspoons Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce) and some Rāyu (Chilli Oil), and it was quite hot and still enjoyable for me. You may wish to add more.

Method
  1. Prepare all ingredients before you start cooking.
  2. Heat Chicken Stock in a saucepan, add other Soup ingredients except Salt, and bring to the boil. Taste it, and add some Salt if required. Today I didn’t add Salt.
