Mornings are always such a RUSH for Bob and I. It's quite obvious, I'm not a morning person.
And I think I made Bob to be likewise.
But I'm starting to want to change my habit of waking up just 15 min. before I'm out the door for work during the week. Aiyah. Anyway, a friend and I were flipping through this book at BORDERS the other day on the Japanese Diet and what makes the Japanese diet so much more healthier...well, we came across the Japanese POWER Breakfast. The POWER is in the rice and carbs that are not what empty calories fill you up in donuts, pastries..etc...
Well, you know me. Whenever I find something intriguing I always voice it to my hubby. Didn't think he was really listening. But he was. And to my surprise, on Sunday night, he came home with the groceries and whipped up dinner in no time. Dinner you say? Well, I ate it the next morning for breakfast too. Inspired by the Japanese breakfast which consists of miso soup, tofu, bonito flakes, rice, seaweed, & fillet of salmon..Bob made us tofu miso soup w/ udon! Mmmmm...yummmm!
And yes, this morning I ended up drinking what's left and it actually gave me more energy...believe it or not! I didn't feel hungry until later! Try it! Oh, but remember...use low sodium miso soup package!
So, let's put the POWER back into breakfast.
ingredients:
1.) miso paste to taste
2.) dried seaweed for soup
3.) enoki mushroom
4.) 1 package of udon noodles
5.) silken soft tofu (optional) cut in cubes
