Soup with Crab Sticks (Osumashi)

For the osumashi recipe, scald the parsley with boiling water and roll it into a ring so that you can then pass the crab stick through. On both sides of the crab stick, make notches and gently ruffle, giving the appearance of brushes. Pass the crab stick through the ring of parsley or chives and tighten slightly, but not too much, otherwise it will tear.

Put one crab stick into the soup bowl, bring the dashi broth to a boil, add soy sauce, salt if necessary, mix and pour into cups with sticks. Osumasi crab stick soup is often served with sushi.
