Endive Rice Soup
Suprisingly simple and tasty. Use good quality sesame oil. You don't need to use Japnaese rice.
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
- 1/2 cup uncooked Japanese rice
- 6 cups vegetable stock
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 heads endive, roughly chopped and leaves separated
- White pepper
Instructions
Heat the canola and toasted sesame oils in a pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and scallions and saute until fragrant.
Add the ginger and chili garlic sauce and cook for one minute.
Add the vegetable stock and soy sauce and bring to a boil. Then add the rice. When the stock returns to a boil, cover the pot, then reduce the heat to a simmer and let the soup cook until the rice is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
Add the endive and simmer the soup until the endive is tender and wilted, about 6 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, season with white pepper, and serve.
