4/5⭐ Pretty soothing when sick and surprisingly tasty given the few amount of ingredients! I think I'll add more water next time and make sure I have full 4 cups. I used red split lentils instead of yellow. Topped with some sesame oil and preserved mustard stems. I think this makes 2 servings instead of 4 though.
