Got home late, ravenously hungry but don't want to spend even 15 minutes cooking dinner? Here's a super fast meal for busy people:
1. Put the kettle on and half fill your soup bowl or large cup with boiling water.
2. Stir in one tablespoon of miso paste
3. Use scissors to snip in some dried seaweed (the same type as is wrapped around sushi; you can buy it at your health food store. It keeps forever in the pantry, and it’s a great source of iodine.
4. If you've got some firm tofu on hand, stir in a few small pieces
5. Top up the bowl with more boiling water and stir gently to mix.
If you've got a little more time……
6. Put the water and miso paste in a saucepan first.
7. Add a 100g portion of raw firm white-fleshed fish, cut into chunks. Snapper is ideal (Tip: Keep portion sizes of fish in tiny containers in your freezer – they thaw quickly. Or if you're a little more organised, take your portion out of the freezer the night before and let it thaw slowly in the fridge.
8. Simmer gently for 10 minutes.
9. Add the dried seaweed, and tofu too if you want.
Fast, healthy food! Enjoy!
