I have a strange child. He likes odd food. Other parents look at him with a bemused air when he visits for tea. He doesn't like what other children like: fishfingers, peas, spag bol etc. But he does like miso soup, so as a returning to school treat today we had it for dinner.
The veggies vary depending on what we fancy. Tonight was bottom of the fridge miso soup but it tasted good!
Ingredients:
2 bundles noodles (any kind, but soba or ramen are the nicest)
1.5 litres boiling water
1 onion, roughly sliced
3-4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 chilli, sliced
1 large lump ginger, grated
2 tbsp miso paste (any type, we like the pale one at the moment)
2 carrots, sliced
bok choi, roughly chopped
baby sweetcorn, roughly chopped into bite sized chunks
tofu, cubed
soya sauce to taste
toasted sesame seeds, to garnish
chopped corriander, to garnish
Start by sauteeing the onion in a little oil for a few mins. Add all the other veggies aside from the bok choi and then add the noodles and boiling water. Bring to the boil and cook the noodles for 2-3 mins. Add the miso paste and reduce the heat (don't boil after the miso is added or you'll kill the enzymes). Season to taste with soya sauce. Add the tofu for the last minute or so to heat through.
Serve in shallow bowls topped with more soya sauce and the sesame seeds and corriander. Feel virtuous for an hour or so afterwards before you gorge on sugar to fill yourself up again!
