Method

  1. 1

    Cook the sushi rice according to the pack and keep warm.

  2. 2

    Mix the chicken mince and pork mince with half the spring onions, the ginger and a pinch of salt, then shape into 16 small meatballs.

  3. 3

    Bring the chicken stock to a simmer in a large pan and whisk in the white miso paste until dissolved.

  4. 4

    Drop in the meatballs and simmer gently for 10 minutes until they float and no pink remains inside; cut one open to check.

  5. 5

    Add the cabbage, tofu and shiitake and simmer for 8-10 minutes more until the cabbage is tender.

  6. 6

    Stir in the soy sauce and taste, adding a little more if needed.

    Ladle into bowls, scatter with the remaining spring onions and serve with the rice.
