Ingredients

  • 4 spring onions
  • 75g watercress, mustard leaf, rocket or mizuna (or your favourite leaves)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2.5cm piece root ginger, finely grated
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 200g risotto rice
  • 100ml rice wine or sherry
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar (any wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar will do)
  • 1 litre fresh vegetable stock, hot
  • 2 free-range eggs
  • Pinch of dried chilli flakes (optional)

Method: How to make rice soup

1. Finely slice the spring onions, keeping the white and green parts apart. Combine the green bits with the salad leaves in a bowl and set aside.

Tip

Before serving, stir in the leaves so that they wilt ... just.

2. Heat the oil gently in a saucepan. When hot, add the onion whites, ginger and garlic and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Add the rice, stir, then add the wine or sherry and bubble for a minute or so. Add the soy, vinegar and stock and simmer, stirring occasionally, for at least 30 minutes. The rice should be almost falling apart to make a thick soup-like dish. Keep it thick or add more stock, seasoning as you go (balance salty soy with the vinegar's sharpness).

3. Poach the eggs, then place 1 in each soup with a pinch of dried chilli. (Roast duck or pork slices would be good, too.)
