Think of this recipe when it is your lazy time or even when you have no time. 🙂 I cooked the soup and leave it in the fridge. Next morning, warm it and pour on top of the rice. 🙂 A shortcut to cook breakfast.
Some people may have cook it in a different way but this way I cook is the shortest one 😀
Thank you for this recipe. Could you please clarify what is “stock powder”? Is this bullion, or is it something else? Thanks. Kim
