Zōsui (Rice Soup) with Dumplings
My mother used to make 'Zōsui' (Rice Soup) to finish off bits and pieces of leftover vegetables and cold cooked rice. To make this soup more filling, she often added some dumplings which I loved. 'Mochi' is also very nice in this soup but they are not available always, so she used to make simple dumplings. This soup will keep you warm on a cold day.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Cut Vegetables in small bite-size pieces.
* Step 2
Heat Dashi Stock, Sake (Rice Wine), Salt and Soy Sauce in a saucepan, add the Vegetables, cover with a lid, and simmer for a few minutes.
* Step 3
Mix all the Dumpling ingredients in a small bowl and make a thick paste. You would need about 1/4 cup Water, but alter the amount.
* Step 4
When the Vegetables are half-cooked, add Cooked Rice, and cook for a few minutes. Then, using a dinner spoon, drop bite-size dumplings into the boiling soup. (If you use Gnocchi, add them now.) Simmer until Rice is soft and dumplings are cooked.
* Step 5
Sprinkle some finely chopped Spring Onion and serve hot.
* Step 6
