Method

Hayato Menu

  1. 1

    Rinse the lily bulbs thoroughly under cold water. If using dried lily bulbs, soak in warm water for 15-20 minutes until plump, then drain well.

  2. 2

    Gently rinse and pat dry the edible flower petals. Remove any stamens or pistils if present and keep petals whole for a bright garnish.

  3. 3

    Heat the vegetable oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger; sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and just starting to color.

  4. 4

    Add the sliced lily bulbs to the pot. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until they become translucent and start to release their aroma.

  5. 5

    Pour in the vegetable stock and optional sake. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and simmer covered for 12-15 minutes, or until lily bulbs are tender.

  6. 6

    Season with salt and white pepper. Stir in rice vinegar to brighten the broth.

  7. 7

    Add the edible flower petals and simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through and preserve color. Avoid boiling for long to keep petals vibrant.

  8. 8

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped scallions just before serving.
