Lunch yesterday was leftover noodles, mandaline sliced peppers, scallions, apple, boc choy, summer squash, splash of vinegar, hit of pepper. At work I can microwave water till it boils in a big mug, add anything I want to heat, like the noodles and nuke again, add veggies then nuke again. At the table I dissolve the miso and slurp away.

I answer questions in between my slurps and splashing. ( Japanese cooks find the best compliment to be the most vigorous and loudest slurping) My fellow workers are amazed what I swish in the broth and eat, like left over chicken, more veggies, baked tofu, pork or a crust of bread.

Slurp on people! Miso is what you make it!
