Zousui Revisited
By thomas | October 25, 2007
Nihonhacks.com’s first tip ever was how to avoid throwing out old rice by making zousui (rice soup). Helpful reader shiisa sends in another zousui tip: use leftover nabe broth.
Excellent tip! This post reminds me of how you can also do the opposite: say you have a great nabe (hot pot) meal, something like crab or kimchi. Don’t throw out that left-over soup once all the ingredients have been picked out. Throw in enough rice to get a nice, oatmeal-like consistency, garnish and voila – zosui! Pack it in some tupperware to let it sit overnight and let the flavors really soak in, and you’ll have some tasty leftovers for the next day!
What a great idea! Thanks shiisa!
