shiro iro to midori (white and green)



turnips and broccoli simmered in a miso based broth. this consists of me tossing random veggies and seasonings to the pot and boiling. aka or shiro miso (red or white) will work. it just depends on your taste. aka is more fermented than shiro and tends to be stronger and saltier in taste. aka's taste is more similar to those little butter-soft cubes of chinese fermented tofu (nam3 jyu2) that smell like sewage. good stuff.
veggies, preferably cut up into small pieces to cook faster
water just enough to cover veggies
a dollop of aka (red) miso to taste (i used 1~2 tbsp)
a splash of rice vinegar, a little garlic powder, a splash of bonito flavored soy..
i bet green onions would have been good.. er you know, whatever you happen to find... then uh, cook until it's done. probably boil less than 10 mins.. my aptmate asks me all the time when i know something is done or not. somehow she doesn't seem to believe it when i tell her that i take it out a piece and try it. trial and error. oh the errors..

oh, also visible is the korean seasoned laver and rice i ate it with. finally, something healthy again.
