Miso Soup Recipe – Vegetable Soup with Yellow Miso

Miso is a fermented soybean paste perfect for a quick miso soup recipe. I find this popular Asian seasoning in a refrigerated case at my local big box grocery. There are 3 main varieties of miso: white, yellow, and red miso. White miso has the mildest flavor while red miso is the strongest; I generally choose yellow miso which is in the middle and use it primarily for making soups and dressings.

Ingredients for this Miso Soup Recipe

3 tsp YELLOW MISO
2 cups WATER
1 CARROT sliced
1 small ONION chopped (or use green onions)
1 stick CELERY chopped
handful of fresh SPINACH roughly chopped
dried SEAWEED to taste (we use versatile seaweed sheets)
1 Tbsp OIL
¼ tsp BLACK PEPPER
RED PEPPER FLAKES

How to Make Miso Soup with Vegetables

  • Heat a pot with oil on medium heat.
  • When oil is hot, add in the onions and red pepper flakes and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in the carrots and celery and continue to sauté another 2 minutes.
  • Season with black pepper then pour in the water, cover the pot and let it come to a boil.
  • Once the pot is boiling, turn off the heat and stir in the miso until it dissolves.
  • Add in the remaining ingredients, stir, and serve hot.

We generally buy seaweed sheets, which is what I use in the video recipe. Dried seaweed sheets are versatile and easily used for making sushi rolls or simply adding to salads and soups. Check current prices for DRIED SEAWEED on Amazon.

Interested in a heartier soup? One of my favorite and easiest recipes is for this Healthy Mackerel Stew. Any time of year is great for a hearty, healthy soup or stew, but like miso soup, this dish is especially tasty when the cool weather arrives.

Mukimame with Brown Rice Recipe

How to make Make Edamame with Brown Rice

  • In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Check current prices for a sauce pan on amazon.
  • Sauté ginger and garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Remove garlic and ginger from pan and set aside (I’ve tried skipping this step, and just continued cooking the garlic and ginger along with the rice, but it’s not as flavorful, so it’s definitely worth setting the garlic and ginger aside to add to the dish later).
  • In same pan (without rinsing), bring 1½ cups lightly salted water to a boil. Add rice, reduce to a low simmer; cover and cook, 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, stir in thawed, shelled edamame (mukimame!); cover and cook until rice is tender and mukimame is heated through, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine lime juice, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved.
  • Remove rice and beans from the stove and add ginger, garlic, lime juice mixture, scallions, cilantro and sesame seeds.
  • Mix well and add additional salt and pepper as desired.

Tofu Lasagna Recipe — Gluten Free Edition

gluten free tofu lasagna

The only thing that sounds worse than a tofu lasagna recipe is a gluten-free tofu lasagna recipe. However, this recipe is actually pretty tasty, and still gluten-free.

Camera Girl whipped up this dish and it was damned tasty. I’m not ready to start driving the tofu train, but I am enjoying the ride.

Tofu Lasagna Recipe Ingredients

The sauce:
1 Tbsp OLIVE OIL
1/2 tsp RED PEPPER FLAKES (crushed)
1/2 large ONION (chopped)
3 cloves GARLIC (chopped)
15 oz can DICED TOMATOES
8 oz can TOMATO SAUCE
1 CARROT (chopped well)
1 stalk CELERY (chopped well)
2 tsp OREGANO
1/2 tsp BASIL
1 BAY LEAF
SALT & PEPPER, to taste
….or substitute 25 oz jar store-bought marinara sauce, but don’t do that :^(
The filling:
1 pkg gluten-free, rice LASAGNA NOODLES (you do not cook them prior to baking)
2 Tbsp extra-virgin OLIVE OIL
1/2 large ONION (chopped)
6 cloves GARLIC (minced)
16 ounce package EXTRA-FIRM, WATER-PACKED TOFU (not silken tofu)
3 cups fresh SPINACH (chopped)
1/2 cup PARMESAN CHEESE (shredded)
1/2 cup part-skim MOZZARELLA CHEESE (shredded)
2 Tbsp Kalamata OLIVES (finely chopped)
2 tsp dried OREGANO
1/2 tsp dried THYME
SALT & PEPPER, to taste

How to Make Tofu Lasagna

First thing, start making the sauce. Now, don’t buy pre-made sauce!–or do…maybe you’re busy, I don’t know.
Next, heat olive oil and red pepper in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute 2 to 4 minutes. Add carrot and celery and continue sauteing.
Mix in the remaining sauce ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 30 minutes or longer, until flavors are blended, stirring routinely.

While sauce is simmering, heat oil in a large skillet and saute garlic and onion for lasagna filling. Add tofu and spinach to skillet and stir until spinach wilts and the mixture is heated through (2 to 3 minutes). Transfer skillet contents to a bowl and stir in parmesan, olives, seasonings, and 2/3 of the marinara sauce.

Spread half of the remaining sauce on bottom of 9 x 13 baking pan. If you need a decent oven-safe baking dish, check out some current pricing for a Pyrex dish on Amazon. Next, place a layer of lasagna noodles over sauce–if using the gluten-free rice lasagna, the noodles will not have to be cooked before using. Spread half of the tofu mixture over noodles. Repeat layers of noodle and tofu mixture. Top with remaining marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese.

Cover dish and bake in a 350 degree F oven for about an hour.
Remove from oven and allow to rest 10 minutes.
