Today’s Cooking Japanese Style is called Sesame Soup with Komatsuna or 小松菜のごまスープ in Japanese. This is a very delicious tasting soup and very easy to make. This can be made as a side dish or even a main dish for dinner if you prefer. I usually make this as a side dish for my family as goes great with any fish or meat main. Enjoy Let’s see what we need to make our Sesame Soup with Komatsuna.
