Red Miso Vegetable Noodle Soup

In case you can't tell I like my Asian style soups. We live walking distance from and shop at the local Asian markets so it makes sense really. If you want to see some other yummy ones check out my Vegetable Hot Pot, Dumpling Noodle Soup, Spiced Mushroom Broth, Asian Vegetable Soup, or Watermelon Rind Tom Yum Soup. You know, I think I need to give my meals more interesting names!

I go for these when I'm cold and hungry but need something that I can chew. I use chopsticks too because I find them more fun than a fork and they make the meal last longer.

Red Miso Vegetable Noodle Soup

Makes 1 big serve or 2 medium serves
2 mushrooms
1 bunch of choy sum
handful of bean sprouts
handful of bean/glass noodles
Broth:
1 tbsp red miso paste
1 tbsp soy
4 cups water (I use boiling water from the kettle to speed things up)
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp lime juice

• Combine broth ingredients (except sesame oil) and simmer
• Chop veggies & add to the broth
• Add noodles
• Simmer for approximately 5 mins (till the noodles are cooked)
• Add sesame oil & serve

I love this. Depending on how hungry I am this can be one meal or two, not that it matters- it's vegetables! It takes mere moments to cook and I don't think anyone could possibly stuff it up. All you have to do is taste it and make sure the balance is right- if it needs more salt/acid just adjust it to your taste. If I make this for other people I add more of everything to bump up the flavour seeing as their pallets are usually fried from junk food. Sad but true. 
Hope you're all eating what you love and enjoying every bite of it! xxx
