Miso Soup

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

I love Miso soup as well. Here is a variation on the soup recipe.

Also, one of miso's benefits is live enzymes akin to those in yogurt

thus you shouldn't boil miso. Add it at the very end of preparation.

 

Miso Soup with Tofu

 

1/2 yellow onion, chopped

4(or more) cloves of garlic, diced

2 tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil

shitake mushrooms (dried or fresh), as many as you like

1 tsp of chopped ginger root

extra firm tofu (however much you like - I use whole tub)

cut into large strips and then halved.

Chives, chopped (to taste)

1/2 cup of bean sprouts

4-5 tbsp. yellow miso

Coarsely ground black pepper

 

Saute onion in olive oil over low heat. When transparent add garlic

for 2-3 minutes or until golden. Add shitakes and ginger. Cook for

2 minutes. Add 2 cups water and tofu. On medium heat, cook for 20

minutes if dried shitakes are used. Fresh shitakes only 10 minutes.

Turn heat to low and add miso and pepper, stirring well. Turn off

heat. Add bean sprouts and chives. Enjoy.

 

Note: This is yummy and very medicinal. You can substitute a darker

variety of miso such as barley but it provides a strong flavor.

p.s. This is the first time for me to post a recipe. Hope you like

it.
