Do you know "Nikuman soup"? It is a recipe that you can easily enjoy Russian-style dumplings "pelmeni" and "like things".

Easy to make. Add meat buns to the soup! Only this. When I looked it up, it seems that the method of making is slightly different depending on the person, such as "make the soup and then add the meat bun" and "put the soup base and the meat bun together and pour hot water from above".

So, I decided to find out how to eat meat bun soup deliciously and "a good combination". I prepared a combination of 3 kinds of "○○ man & instant soup" and tried to compare them.

■ Meat bun x egg soup

First of all, from the combination of meat bun and egg soup. After making the soup, I tried the method of adding meat buns.




When you break the meat bun with a spoon, the dough absorbs water with great force. When you eat a bite, the bottom of the dough absorbs plenty of water and becomes plump!


It looks like fluffy dumplings and is pretty good! Judging that this should absorb plenty of water, we dropped more hot water from above. The whole thing became plump. It tastes pretty addictive ...

If you can afford it, try the toppings of "sesame oil" and "sliced chili peppers". The spiciness of the chili pepper and the flavor of sesame oil will tighten the overall taste (be careful not to overspray).

■ Pizza bun x tomato soup

A combination of pizza bun and tomato soup. Make soup and drop pizza. Furthermore, it is completed by adding hot water enough to moisten the surface of the pizza bun.




If you top it with cheese and Italian parsley that was in the refrigerator, it will be like a tomato risotto. I can't wait for the cheese that melts from the pizza bun!

■ Cheese curry bun x onion soup

A combination of cheese curry bun and onion soup. Make soup and drop cheese curry bun. Add enough hot water to moisten the surface.



The recommended topping is a small amount of ketchup. The rich onion soup is combined with the cheese curry bun curry and it's delicious! Although it does not have the same sense of unity as other combinations, it has a non-persistent and easy-to-drink taste.

■ The best combination is

All of them are delicious, but the one that came to me the most was the combination of meat bun and egg soup. The meat bun that sucked plenty of soup is the strongest ...!

■ Tips for eating deliciously

・ It is better to dissolve the soup in hot water first (to make the dough absorb water).
・ Soak the meat bun in the soup (or pour hot water over it)

Depending on the type, you can enjoy "Nikuman soup" with meat bun and soup base for about 200 yen per cup. Not only is it easy and pricey, but it is also a nice point to have all the ingredients at the convenience store. If you don't have freeze-dried instant soup, you can use Chinese soup base or granule consomme. Why don't you find your favorite combination?
