ginger mushroom miso soup

Click for the recipe.

soup

  • 1/2 yellow onion, sliced thin
  • 1/2 lb. shiitake mushrooms, sliced thin (i’m sure you could use dried as well)
  • a ton of ginger, grated
  • crushed red pepper flakes
  • tamari
  • vegetable broth (mine’s from the freezer)
  • 1 tablespoon miso
  • sesame oil

heat sesame oil in a medium sized pot. when it’s hot, add the ginger and pepper flakes and stir until ginger is brown. add the onions and mushrooms; sautee until onions are soft and mushrooms release their liquid. add tamari and stir for a minute or two (i like the taste of tamari when it’s been cooked or even burned a little, that’s why i added it early). add the vegetable broth and then the miso. salt and pepper to taste.

Skittles

snacks: almost an entire package of double stuffed oreos, a lot of sunflower seeds

drink: magic hat’s new seasonal beer, vinyl, while watching the play “Mikveh,” which was really good.  Magic Hat says their beer is vegan, but they only talk about dairy and meat (not honey).  I emailed them to confirm what ingredients are in their beers. I will post their response, if i receive one.

stacey- VEGAN FAIL

May 5, 2010 - .  

breakfast: coffee (free from work) with soy milk (i brought my own to work); way too many cashews

lunch: leftover garden blend chipotle burrito

snack: Non Pareils from Marvelous Market (thanks Joanna).  These are really good.  If you are ever in DC you should make sure to get them.

WARNING: ….ah wait…the non pareils aren’t vegan. they have confectioner’s glaze.  I forgot that I started eating these before I knew what that was. After I found out what it was, I forgot to check how they make their glaze. ahhhh.  I just emailed the company to find out more information.

another snack: a lot of sunflower seeds and red grapes

dinner: asparagus shiitake risotto (fresh asparagus from the farmers market, dried shiitake mushrooms (re-hydrated obviously), saffron, Rapunzel veggie bouillon (really good), olive oil and Earth Balance.  I know the picture sucks- i used my crappy phone. Everyone vote: crappy pictures or no pictures? I vote for no pictures.  Hopefully, once I unpack Zack’s old camera i can take better pictures

I also fried up silken tofu that had gone slightly bad. shelley and i were going to add it to the risotto, but shelley changed her mind. it definitely didn’t taste right, but i sort of liked it. it tasted like an egg (maybe i’m on to something with eating rotten tofu)

beer: Anchor Summer  (I’ve never had this type of beer before- thanks Shelley) vegan according to Barnivore. I sent the company an email to confirm.

lunch fit for a king: leftover sweet potato crepe filling with leftover cashew-coconut-cilantro sauce. sauteed broccoli. leftover miso soup.

delicious vegan smoores brownie from bleeding heart bakery. i think they opened a new store or something, because i remember them having mostly brunchy pastry things like muffins, but this time most of the case was filled with chocolate things, and furthermore most of those things were vegan. it was a tough decision!

leftover miso soup. dr. praeger’s curry burger on a toasted english muffin with bbq sauce. i like the tjs masala burger better.
