breakfast: easy, low calorie, great start: Miso soup

[cali]

add whatever you wish or feel like. I love tearing up a handful of spinach leaves, grating in some ginger, dicing a bit of hot pepper, any lettuce works, a squirt of sirracha, some sprouts perhaps, scallions, soy sauce, rice vinegar, whatever.

It's a great way to start the day.

1. Definitely! My sister lived in Japan for a year and would have Miso soup for breakfast quite often

I add little squares of silken tofu to mine, too

2. Miso, sirracha, rice vinegar, spinach . . .

Please don't invite me over for breakfast, or worse yet, have me cook it and invite you. I don't know if my grocers even ever heard of some of this stuff.

Your menu is like your knowledge of current events - way above the average joe's ken...(not scottish but I like the word).

Anyway, went to drs yesterday and in waiting room, a big, really big guy came out of the office and got on his cell phone and was telling someone how silly they were for getting him McDonalds for breakfast when he had ribs cooking at home. We all started to talk about ribs and asked how he made them indoors because I had only made them on the grill, years ago, and had no pan to cook them in -covered- indoors....

He gave me his spice list - stuff you rub on it - and soy sauce was one of the items. Another lady there uses it also, but uses foil to cover...

Twice in one day, and now you, soy sauce. It's on my list. Am 75 and this one couple, sort of from the Duckthing tv show, told us that vinegar, or italian dressing tenderized meat if you soaked it, the others knew this. And, the doctor is a good one.


All that then the SOTU speech and the bad news about the TPP in your GD post.

Great to see you.

3. Yes, Japanese Comfort food

I used to work near a little Japanese grocery store that had a little eating area and they would make you miso. Haven't had any in years, but now I want some. My other favorite is the Japanese sobu noodles, they are made of buckwheat and you fix them with soy sauce and chopped green onions and eat them cold. Great Food
