Organic chasoba in Japanese miso soup

What’s there to cook on a glorious Sunday afternoon. Ok, so there’s Japanese miso soup also the Organic Somen and Organic Chasoba which i bought earlier. I asked hubby which would he prefer and he said he wanted the organic chasoba. So, chasoba it is.

Organic Chasoba

The Organic chasoba has a lovely green tinge and smells great.

Here’s the organic chasoba boiling in the pot. There are altogether three rows of organic chasoba inside the packaging and i cooked two of it. Enough for both hubby and i and also for both my kids too.

Miso packets

And here’s the packet of instant Japanese miso soup.

And here are the contents. There are four sets of miso soup inside. Took two out.

Miso seasoning

The slim packet contains the miso, and the squarish packet are the seaweed, spring onions and what-are-those-yellow-bits?? Dried tofu pieces? I love the smell of the miso….. mmmm.

Just add some hot water to it and give it a light stir. Dont put too much water or the miso soup will become bland and you’ll need to add soy sauce to it later on.

Cooked organic chasoba

Here’s the cooked organic chasoba. Dumped them into the rice cooker’s steamer rack which happens to be nearby. Fits perfectly over the pot, lol. Ran cold filtered tap water over the organic chasoba to stop the cooking process and also to cool it. Or else, it’ll be too soft and lose it’s bite.

Separated them into their respective bowls and it’s a lovely weekend meal for my family of four. Simple isnt it. No skills needed.

Certified Organic Somen and Greentea soba

I bought these certified organic somen and greentea soba from Jaya Jusco supermarket’s organic section. It’s not very well stocked and is placed at the furthest end of the supermarket where they sell fish, if i’m not mistaken. A small miserable display rack is all they have. But i found these organic somen and greentea soba or chasoba right at the end of bottom shelf.

Organic somen and soba

There are more varieties but i prefer buckwheat noodles. Let’s see how they taste like when i cook them later on. I just hope my kids will eat them. Hubby wont have a problem as he usually eats everything that i dish out, lol. That’s pretty encouraging since i seldom cook and not exactly a domestic goddesss. Have you tried organic greentea buckwheat noodles and organic somen before?
