My hubby came back from the office (yeah the poor guy has to work over the weekend) close to midnight starving. He was not keen to have any instant noodles, or any cookies or bread. He was craving for some warm soup. I opened my refrigerator, stared at it and scratched my head….. clueless. How to come up with a bowl of soup in a jiffy? I am hopeless where cooking is concerned. I told him, “Should we go and buy your favourite beef ball noodles?” He was not interested…. the poor guy must be burnt out, even his favourite noodles did not excite him. So I opened the refrigerator, again, totally stressed out. I saw my packet of miso paste, and had an inspiration. I remembered what I used to make when I was a student, miso soup! It is simple, relatively healthy as a midnight snack, takes only 10 minutes to put together, and most important of all, it’s fail proof.

Miso Soup

* 500ml water
* 1 Tbsp miso paste
* Shimeji/Shitake mushroom
* Half a box of Japanese silken tofu
* Some wakame.

Method

1) Mix the miso paste and water together in a pot.

2) Add mushroom and wakame, and allow is to boil for 5 minutes.

3) Add the tofu, and simmer for another 3 minute. Serve warm.
