The
possibilities are endless,
but here are a few of my favorite combinations
to try:
Variation
1:
Ingredients:
1
dried Shiitake mushroom - soak 10 min. remove stem
and slice thinly
1
onion cut in half moons
1
corn on the cob
1/2
cup sliced savoy or other cabbage
1/4
cup carrot diced small
1
stalk celery cut lengthwise and sliced in thin
diagonals
1
tsp instant wakame sea vegetable
3-4
tsp Mugi Miso
garnish:
small bunch of parsley - washed, dried and
chopped finely
Instructions:
Cut
the corn off the cob, careful not to cut it off too close to
the cob.
Bring
3-4 cups of water with corn cob, shiitake mushroom and soaking
water to a boil on
medium flame.
When
the water boils add the onion and simmer gently boil for 5
min.
Remove
the corn cob.
Now
add the rest of the vegetables one at a time leaving a little
minute between each vegetable.
First the carrot, cabbage, corn and
wakame and finally the celery.
Put
your miso in a cup and dilute it with a little soup broth and
add it
to the pot.
Gently
simmer the miso for 2-3 min. and serve right away with
parsley
garnish.
