Leek and mushroom soup. Very light soup and there's not much oil. The ingredients that are used for this soup is very simple.

Ingredients
- Shiitake/dried mushroom
- 1 stalk of leek
- 1 carrot
- Salt/soy sauce/ fish sauce

Method
1) Wash the mushrooms and put into a pot of water till boil. You can choose to slice it or just cook it as a whole mushroom.
2) Cut the carrot into bite size and put it to the pot and cook together with the mushrooms.
3) Chop the leek diagonally and wash it in tap water for a few secs.
4) Stir-fry the leek in pan until half-cooked to get rid of the garlicky smell and mix it in with the pot of soup.
5) Add the salt/soy sauce/ fish sauce to the soup to your liking and wait for it to boil.
6) Scoop the soup to a soupbowl and start your dinner.

Simple steps to delicious healthy soup. Enjoy.

Made this pumpkin and chicken soup. Good for healthy diet ppl. If you think there's too much oil, you can use a kind of absorbent paper which can be bought from daiso. Will upload the pics soon. This soup is very easy to cook.

If you are cooking for the whole family, use half a chicken and half pumpkin. Peel the pumpkin skin with a peeler, if you are a expert at peeling you can also use a knife but really careful cuz the skin is super hard. Normally i would cook the pumpkin first to let it soften and throw in the chicken. Add salt for seasoning. Cuz pumpkin is sweet so you might have to add quite an amount of salt. I dun recommend to use soy sauce cuz the soya bean taste would be very heavy and will taste weird with pumpkin. Let it boil in medium fire for around 2 hours and you're done.


Next is the rolled omelette, i intro-ed this in my previous post, and this is just to let you see how the omelette will look like inside if it's rolled up. You can find videos on how to make japanese rolled omelette on YouTube. They add mirin, dashi and soy sauce. This will make the egg taste sweeter cuz mirin is sweet sake.



Enjoy!!
