When you need a warm, refreshing bowl of soup for your child on a busy evening, this soybean sprout soup recipe is the perfect answer. It’s simple yet delivers a deep flavor, making it ideal for your little one’s meal.
Main Ingredients- 150g fresh soybean sprouts
- A little chopped green onion
- 1/2 Tbsp clear salted fermented shrimp
- 1/2 Tbsp coarse salt
- 1 anchovy-kelp broth pack
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, bring about 500ml of water to a boil and add the broth pack to create a delicious base stock. The combination of anchovies and kelp will provide a deep, refreshing flavor.
Step 2
While the stock is boiling, rinse the soybean sprouts thoroughly under running water, removing any dirty husks or spoiled bits. You can chop the sprouts into smaller pieces for easier consumption by children.
Step 3
Once the water is at a rolling boil, remove the broth pack to prevent the stock from becoming too concentrated.
Step 4
Add the prepared soybean sprouts directly into the boiling stock. It’s important to keep the lid off while cooking to allow any gamey smell from the sprouts to escape. Since this is for your child, chopping the sprouts into bite-sized pieces is also a good option.
Step 5
When the soybean sprouts are adequately cooked, add half a spoonful of salted fermented shrimp for a boost of umami. Using salted fermented shrimp is a great way to season the soup without making it too salty for children. Adjust the seasoning with half a spoonful of coarse salt if needed.
Step 6
Finally, add the pre-chopped green onions and simmer for another moment. The subtle aroma of the green onions will further enhance the soup’s flavor.
Step 7
Once the soup boils again, your delicious soybean sprout soup is complete! The clear, refreshing broth makes it easy for children to enjoy, and they’ll love the crisp texture of the sprouts. Serve and enjoy with a warm bowl of rice!
