Dice the eggplants, tomato, green pepper and onion into approximately ½ inch dice. Thinly slice the carrots into a half moon shape. Chop the kabocha squash a little larger than the other vegetables. Mince the garlic and ginger. 2. Into a large pan or pot, heat the olive oil over medium. Add in the garlic and ginger. Cook until fragrant. Add in the rest of the vegetables all at once. Season the vegetables with salt and cook over high heat for about 4 minutes. Lower the heat and cover with a lid. Steam for another 4 minutes. 3. Open the lid and add in the curry powder and flour. Cook it for one minute. Add water, apple juice, soup stock powder and cooked beans. Once it comes to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes with the lid on until all the vegetables are cooked. Season the curry with soy sauce and miso paste. Adjust the final taste with salt if it’s needed. Partially blend the soup immersion blender if you want. 4. Cook the udon noodles according to their package instructions. Transfer the cooked noodles to a serving bowl then pour the soup (step 3) over top. ※Watch more on YouTube! 1. I recommend cutting everything as small as possible to speed up the cooking process. 2. If you are sensitive to spicy food, reduce the amount of ginger in half. 3. Make sure to taste the soup before adding in the miso paste and soy sauce. You want to avoid over seasoning the soup. 4. If you have time, caramelize the onions before adding in the other vegetables to bring out even more flavor. 5. I highly recommend partially blending the soup, where part of it is smooth while still retaining some texture. This will allow the soup to better cling to the noodles. 6. Enjoy this soup with any other noodle or even rice. I used udon noodles in my YouTube video Store the soup and noodles separately. The soup can be kept in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.   - MIWA's E-cookboo k s  are available!

Wrap the tofu in a paper towel and microwave on 600W for about 20 seconds to drain excess water. 2. Place the tofu in a bowl and blend until smooth. 3. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and mix until there’s no dry powder remaining. 4. Transfer the mixture into a heatproof dish lined with parchment paper, smoothing it out evenly. 5. Microwave on 600W for 3 minutes. 6. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for a minimum an hour. 7.

Less cocoa results in a softer texture, while more gives a denser consistency. Enjoy! -Adjust the heating time based on your microwave's wattage.

  • ▶VEGAN <Yield> 5 serving 10 minutes ( doesn't include resting time) 1-3 minutes 2 cups (200g) ginger, thinly sliced 1 teaspoon salt Marinade 1 cup rice vinegar 5 tablespoons granulated sugar 1. Peel the skin from the ginger. Slice the ginger as thin as possible. Blanch the ginger slices for 1-3 minutes to remove the pungency. The time depends on how pungent you want the pickled ginger to be. Drain the water and rinse the ginger slices under the cold water. Squeeze out the water. Sprinkle with salt then leave them to rest for 5 minutes. Squeeze out the moisture again. 2. To a pot over medium heat, add in the rice vinegar and sugar. Once it comes to a boil, remove from heat and let it cool down. 3. Squeeze the water out of the ginger again. Combine the ginger with the marinade in a clean glass jar. Let them sit together at least overnight. ※Watch more on YouTube! 1. If the pickled ginger is too tangy then feel free to add an additional teaspoon of sugar. Another option is to reduce the amount of vinegar used to ¾ cup and replace the missing volume with ¼ cup of water. 2. If you are sensitive to the pungency of ginger, blanch the ginger for 3 minutes instead of 1. I did 1.5 minutes in the video. 3. Try to pick fresh ginger with thin skin for the best pickled ginger!
