Oh yeah… I must admit that I have been crazy about Japanese food. Japanese food seems a good friend of my husband since he found out that he is allergic to wheat. Hence, eating out is not easy anymore for us, especially if you live on the wheat growers’ land.

After I received Everyday Harumi cookbook from Serge Lescouarnec, I became more knowledgeable about this cuisine. I know how to make dashi from scratch. This dish was inspired by Miso Soup with Sesame and Tofu of Harumi too. With the Garlic Mussels that was posted previously, I twisted her recipe.

You may serve this soup for your appetizer at the New Year party as I submitted to the Masak Bareng Yuuk event December 2009 period with theme “Hidangan Pesta tahun Baru (English: New Year Party Dish).

There were some different ideas for the party as well that you may be interested.
