holey moley i've got to record this down!
just this evening my parents had to go for some wedding dinner leaving just the 3 of us at home.
i gallantly offered to cook dinner since my younger sis was not up to eating out. however, upon searching (and also realising tt i am really quite incapable of cooking proper food), i realised tt there were like 2 cans of baked beans and this carton with japanese indication tt its used for miso soup.
upon this discovery, i was damn happy and declared tt dinner will be baked beans and miso soup. moreover, i ADORE miso soup and well...it looked like an instant mix.
so i happily boiled a pot of water ( i even measured the amount ok!)and poured in a sachet of mix (1 sachet is supposed to serve 4, according to the picture). to my dismay the soup looked too clear (miso soup is supposed to look cloudy right?!)and tasted like i didnt add anything at all.
so i added another sachet but the soup still tasted like water. i added another sachet. by the 4th sachet, the soup was starting to taste abit, so i happily added the tofu and served.
however, my sis and i had this sinking feeling throughout the entire process tt miso paste was supposed to be added into the soup. upon finishing the soup, we decided to check the carton again.
upon trying to decifer (in our own way) the stupid japanese symbols, it hit us we had just eaten ALOT of MSG. (i think each of us ate 5 person's worth of MSG!)
here's presenting our fusion meal:
we each drank a bowl of 'miso soup', ate soba (sauce: diluted soya sauce) and 1 scrambled egg.
our stupidity is now public. haha.
