A friend of me sent me some dried scallops, and I wanted to turn them into something tasty. My city is getting colder at night (for our standard, that is. I live in the biggest archipelago in the world) so I wanted to make something warm. This dish is very simple and tasty. Adjust the salt to your liking. You might want to add more, but I think a pinch is enough.

A recipe I found a long time ago just updated it and made it faster to cook

I've made this so many times I've lost count.I make this year-round for breakfast for my mochi-loving husband.If you do up to Step 4 the night before, it's easy to make in the morning.For the dashi stock, you can just use 1 tablespoon of dashi stock granules in 5 cups (1000 ml) of water.When adding salt in Step 4, be sure to taste it while you add it since different types of salt have different levels of saltiness.If you have mari-bu (decorative ball shaped fu) the soup becomes very New Year-sy and festive. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by ruruchirin

This is our family recipe for Kyoto-style white miso ozouni. I grew up eating this for years with my parents, who are both born and bred in Kyoto, and I love it. We only have this once a year at New Years, but I always comforted when I eat this. It's my mother's flavor.In Kyoto, we use round mochi cakes for ozouni. When heating them in the microwave, watch them so that they don't puff up too much and explode. Serve the soup and mochi before the mochi becomes too soft and melts. You can use authentic, properly made dashi stock, or instant dashi stock from granules. In Step 2, when cooking the satoimo, be careful not to simmer too long or it gets salty. For an easy to make amount. Recipe by Nanaiku

This soup is rich in calcium from the milk, has lots of vegetables, and is very hearty, so I make it whenever I'm strapped for time (there's no root vegetables so it cooks up quickly).It's like a soup curry, and I like it.You can use pork instead of chicken- whichever you prefer.You don't have to add chili pepper.Since the chili pepper is hard to spot in the red soup, you can remove it before adding the tomato at Step 4. For 3 to 4 servings. Recipe by putimiko

That soup that comes with fried rice at a ramen shops.I tried many recipes, and this is the one I came up with at the end. I drew upon the wisdom of those who came before me, and still made it my own.This soup is perfect with fried rice. If you're serving it with beef bowl make it less salty. Just adjust the amount of hot water depending on your main dish, ok?If you prefer light flavors, use less soy sauce.Whatever you do, don't boil the soup or anything. It doesn't contain any ingredients that will cause a tummy ache if they aren't boiled, so just warm everything through and leave it be. For 1 serving. Recipe by Mossa-n

I found this recipe on the internet and it’s been a family favorite ever since we tried it.I normally double this recipe which just about fills it to the top. I also like to use crockpot liners for easier cleanup.

I was feeling lazy one night and started to use my brand new slow cooker. This is the test run. Hope you all benefit from it.

This is soup season with the cold coming in strong what better comfort food to have than soup. So many different recipes for Chicken soup, I find it so difficult to choose which one is or could be my favorite.This soup is so different from the others because I have tweaked it slightly so by adding bay leaf, and I have not added any vegetables because I wanted the taste from the bay leaf to stand out from the rest of the ingredients. I hope you enjoy

I've recently been ill and this is the first thing that came to mind. I remember being given a similar dish as a child when I had the flu, over the years I grew up and this is still one of the easiest and filling recipes on my list to make, with some tweaking to use my taste buds.

This recipe is very simple to throw together and full of flavor. I remove the seeds from my jalapeno and it's not at all spicy. We like ours served with some roasted sweet potato or some cheese quesadilla wedges on the side. Recipe adapted from : Iowagirleats.com

Making dashi stock is a pain and I hate that you need to dirty a pot to use mentsuyu! Then I remembered my mom's ultimate lazy recipe.This is the ultimate "lazy" recipe for zouni. There aren't any hints. Just eyeball the ingredients. Recipe by Natsumomomama
