100g rice noodles (dried), 3T crab paste, 1T minced garlic, 1/2 scallion, 20g crab-flavored surimi stick, 2T mirin, 1/2 block tofu, sesame oil

1. Pour boiling water over the rice noodles. About 30 minutes should do it (about an hour if using cold water). 2. Drizzle oil in a pan and sauté 1T minced garlic and 2T finely chopped scallion. 3. Add 3T crab paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes until small bubbles start to rise. 4. Add 2T mirin, 60ml water, and 1/2 block tofu, and simmer about 5 minutes, then add the crab-flavored surimi (which apparently contains a whopping 6.54% crab) and the rice noodles from step 1, and mix well. 5. Plate and top with sesame oil and a little scallion.
