In the Miso Soup Ryu Murakami
Publisher: Penguin Group (USA) Incorporated

A variation on the original miso soup (which, by the way is a great soup base in itself), this hearty vegetarian soup is really easy to make with readily available ingredients. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Foreigners' Reaction to Japanese instant miso soup. Light and fortifying for any meal, including breakfast. Koji is usually an inoculated rice or barley. Good food for recovery from illness. Okay, sometimes I like Ochazuke for breakfast too (but that's for another post). Miso is readily available and one of those ingredients I try to always have on hand. Easy recipe for miso soup with nappa cabbage, seaweed, and brown rice. I wasn't in the mood for a complicated recipe or a big ingredient list the night that I made this for myself. Miso soup is one of the most popular entrees so to speak in Japan. It's not only cheap and easy to make but very healthy for you. Miso soup made from scratch will always be the best, but when I'm traveling, I have no shame about sipping the instant stuff. But the ONE thing I will eat in the morning is 10-minute miso soup.
