How to make Japanese Clear Onion Soup for an Appetizer?
The best thing about this recipe, is that there’s hardly any hands on time, as with the majority of Living Chirpy recipes. What I’m trying to say is that you have no excuse to not impress your dinner guests with this cute little soup.
Even something as simple as “Clear Onion Soup” can seem special if you serve it as an appetizer in a pretty little bowl and an authentic little spoon.
So, you start by frying the onions in a little bit of oil (preferably sesame oil for extra flavor) until they start to caramelize brown.
Add the rest of the ingredients and let it simmer away for 30 minutes.
Strain the vegetables from the water (don’t need to throw them away! I blend them and mix them in with my toddler’s food. Or I just snack on it myself)
Garnish it with thinly sliced mushrooms and chopped scallions.
Voilà!
Japanese Clear Onion Soup is ready to be served.
