{Pho} | Shitake Mushrooms & Black Bean Noodles


Pho la la la la, Pho, Pho la, Pho!

 

Ingredients

yield | 4 servings

  • 168 oz (3 servings) of organic black bean noodles (I use these)

  • 6 cups organic low sodium vegetable broth

  • 10 medium shitake mushrooms, sliced

  • 1 cup chopped red cabbage

  • 1 cup chopped cauliflower

  • 1 cup green peas

  • 3 medium-small bok choy, most chopped, leave smaller leaves whole

  • 2 green onions, chopped for garnish

Miso Sauce:

  • 8 tablespoons lukewarm water

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced

  • 4 teaspoons dulse (seaweed granules)

  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

  • For an extra kick, add a teaspoon of kimchi sriracha to each serving!

Instructions

  • Prepare the miso sauce in a small bowl, and set aside.

  • Pour the broth into stock pot, add the mushrooms and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to medium, and let cook for 5 minutes

  • Add in the red cabbage and cauliflower, and let cook together for another 5 minutes.

  • Add the green peas and bock choy, turn off heat and keep covered to cook the peas and bock choy.

  • Divide the noodles between 4 bowls, and spoon the vegetables and broth over the noodles.

  • If you want to preserve the probiotic benefits of the miso and tempeh, let the vegetable broth temperature cool to 115°F before adding.

  • garnish with chopped green onion

 


GRETCHEN'S
COOKING &

EATING TIPS

#1 

Choose fresh, organic, local and seasonal as often as possible.

#2

Have fun learning about soaking and sprouting legumes and grains!

 

#3

Enjoy the cooking practice!  Make it a meditation. Add music and perhaps a little wine/beer ;)

 

#4

Set up some methodical "experiments" to challenge any food-phobias or food groups that you have developed a degree of "uncertainty" about. Try different preparation methods. How does grinding, pounding, sprouting, cooking and/or fermenting 

change your experience of that food?

#5

Enjoy eating! Create a stress-free eating environment. Take the time to slowly chew and savor the collaboration of food and energy that you are taking in.
