Some days, I don’t feel like a heavy dinner. This is usually when I’ve had a good lunch or a late lunch, or just simply when I don’t feel like cooking very much.
On those days, I usually whip up something simple (and on a cold day) something hot to line my tummy so it doesn’t growl all night long. My tried and true fave is Somen noodles in miso soup with seaweed.
Serving Size: 1
You need:
- A packet of instant miso soup paste
- Some dried seaweed
- Somen noodles or noodle of choice
How to:
- Setting this up is easy. Boil some water in a pot and cook the noodles until they are cooked but still springy – al dente if you will.
- Boil up more water in a kettle and pour over the miso paste, mixing it up to dissolve into the soup. Be careful as miso can be very salty so add enough water to taste.
- Scatter in some dried seaweed. I buy the sort that only need hot water to hydrate. There are others that need boiling up before they are cooked.
- When the noodles are cooked, pour the soup over it and enjoy!
- I sometimes add a poached egg for protein, or some chicken slices.
As miso is salty, I don’t have this very often. However, because its quick and easy, it makes a fulfilling meal all on its own.
