Chinese-Style Ozouni (Mochi Cake Soup) Flavored With Pure Sesame Oil
I love the flavor of our family's standard ozouni that we have every year, but this recipe is in response to requests for something different! Even without adding any special ingredients, the fragrance of pure sesame oil adds a Chinese-style flavor. The sesame oil combined with the umami of vegetables and chicken tastes very rich. This is a hearty ozouni that children love too!
By adding pure sesame oil during the preparation stages as well as to finish, the fragrance and the umami of the oil are evident in a well balanced way in the finished soup. Slice the vegetables into thin julienne to make an elegant version of ozouni that can be served to guests. This is delicious with grilled onigiri rice balls instead of the mochi cakes. For 4 servings. Recipe by Kadoya-seiyu

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 -

The mochi should be the square type.Mochina greens (also called Shougatsu greens) are a traditional vegetable that show up in our local grocery stores around New Year's. If you can't find them, just use komatsuna greens. Recipe by ma2003co -
