Recipe
Ingredients
- Mizuna
- Quick Lu Zhi (soy
- Mentsuyu
- cola
- five-spice etc.)
- Tube garlic
- Sesame oil
Instructions
- [Authentic & Quick Recipe]
- [Mizuna Prep (No Heating Needed)] Trim roots of cheap super 'Mizuna (
- bunch)', chop into 4-5cm bite-sized lengths, wash in strainer, drain firmly. Fluffily mound mizuna in a large heatproof bowl.
- [Lu Zhi Maximizing Aroma] Boil cola (a little), soy, Mentsuyu, tube garlic, sesame oil, 'five-spice' violently on high in a small pot. Mizuna releases water, so make sauce slightly strong.
- [Second-speed Pour-over Cooking] Boiling mizuna in a pot melts it gooey instantly, so absolutely do not put in pot. Vigorously pour piping hot boiling soup 'juicily' over the mounded mizuna in the bowl.
- [Finishing] Soup heat alone slightly wilts mizuna; when it turns vibrant green, mix briefly to finish. Enjoy ultimate crispness and Taiwan aroma.

Made with a 'pouring hot water feel' without fire, ultimate ally for dieting girls studying for exams or returning tired at night.
