Miso / was healthy IS expensive, birthday, breadcrumbs

I've made a similiar soup. Besides the ingredients listed I would add either

noodles or rice. Add lots of green onions, garlic, mung sprouts and cabbage and

you have an Asian soup.

Miso / was healthy IS expensive, birthday, breadcrumbs

 

 

>went to the health food shop yesterday and treated

myself to such things as miso . . .

 

I use miso for adding flavour (and goodness) to soups and stews. And in

that way I use it

quite a bit - but I feel I should be doing more with it. A quick

pick-me-up is miso stirred

into a mug of boiling water. And it makes a nice light soup with some

chillies,ginger, a

cube or two of tofu and a few spinach leaves and either green onion or

cilantro or both.

But after that I'm stymied. Any suggestions???

Ya know, I've been looking for white miso for ages and haven't been able to get

it. I will

keep looking! I use this red or brownish miso (various kinds) - for everything.

I just use

less if I think it'll be too strong. Forunately, I share your misoholism

'problem' :-).

Hummus, huh? Hadn't even thought of that! Why not!! I made som yesterday or I'd

try it

right away. (I figure the way I make hummus - strongly flavoured, with loads of

garlic,

cilantro, cayenne, cummin etc., a change to miso to replace some of the flavours

would

work just fine.) See? A brand new idea LOL Thanks. And in mashed potatoes?

Great!

Excellent thought. I made a soybean with sea vegetable dish yesterday that could

just have

used a little miso at the end rather than salt/soy - didn't think of it! Next

time.

Good to remember!

 

Thanks for reminding me of that link, btw. I had found it before but it had

slipped my

mind. Anyone interested can download a little recipe book re miso - I must go

through

that again!

 

Thanks for the help!
