Just a question/comment on the miso soup just posted....
I am wondering if the
2-4 pieces of Wakame
might not be 2-4 pieces of kombu
instead. Simmering wakame for 20-30 minutes seems really strange to
me. It's great in miso soup but you usually add it just for a few minutes
of cooking at the end. >>
You are correct, the Wakame could be added at the end.. and would be
fresher. On the other hand, Ive never had a problem adding it at the
beginning either if I was serving it right away.
And yes, I do know what Kombu is..and no, I didn't wish to use it in that
recipe.
When I wrote it, it was a long time ago. These days, I make the same recipe
without the wakame or the miso..because it keeps better in the fridge...and
only add those things when I am about to eat it..
I prefer the Dark Miso's with the sweetness of the Winter Squash, but yes, a
light Miso is interesting too.
