Hachinohe Senbei-jiru

Japan · East Asia

Short description: This soup uses special crackers that absorb broth without immediately falling apart.
Ingredients: Wheat crackers with chicken or fish broth, burdock root, carrot, mushrooms, green onion, and soy sauce.
Cultural note: The crackers turn a simple soup into a filling meal and give it a texture between noodle and dumpling.
Common misconception: The crackers are not served crisp like a snack; they are meant to soften in the broth.
