Classic miso soup combination contains tofu and wakame, but I often use daikon or cabbage. I’m a single working woman. I don’t cook as often as I plan, and eat less than the daily recommended servings of veggies. Putting fresh veggies into miso soup is a great way to get those vegetables in.
Daikon and cabbage last for months at a time. Even if I didn’t get to cooking one week or several months after purchasing my grocery, the daikon and cabbage is still good. Don’t “eww” me.
Miso soup with veggies, rice, and an egg is my quick bachlorette meal when I didn’t get a chance to cook. What is your quicky, go-to meal?
Serve with onigiri onigiri or sushi.
