10 Minute Miso Veggie Lunch

10 Minute Miso Veggie Lunch

SERVES 1

I love a quick, easy and fresh lunch! This is a favorite of mine especially when I am hungry and in a pinch.

This also makes for a perfect dinner.

DOSHAS

Vata - This is great for vata!

Pitta - Lots of salt is not ideal for pitta. You could reduce the amount of miso paste and add bitter leafy greens to balance the meal.

Kapha - Lots of salt is not ideal for kapha. You could reduce the amount of miso paste and add bitter leafy greens to balance the meal. Also, consider brown rice + millet noodles.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups purified water (can add more as needed)

• 1 heaping tbsp miso paste (look for organic - they also have chickpea if you can’t do soy)

• 1 carrot, peeled and chopped into bite size pieces

• 5 snap peas, chopped into bite size pieces

• 1 rice noodle cake (I use Lotus Foods Organic brand) (you can use whatever alternative noodle you desire!)

• Few sprinkles of wakame (optional)

DIRECTIONS

1. Bring water to boil on medium high heat in medium to large saucepan. Add in miso paste.

2. While you are waiting for it to boil prep your vegetables. Feel free to use whatever vegetables you have on hand.

3. Once boiling, add vegetables and cook for about 4 minutes. Depending on the vegetables you use, you may need to cook harder vegetables longer and greens for a shorter time.

4. Add in noodles and cook for 4 more minutes. Use fork to separate noodles after 2 minutes of cook time.

5. While noodles are cooking you can add wakame.

6. Give everything a final stir then transfer to a bowl and enjoy!
