Somen, Tofu and Vegetables in Miso Broth
"This recipe came into being one night when trying to use up the last of my somen. Easy and quick to fix, very little clean up time too! For those that don't like tofu, use a firm tofu that has been frozen at least 24hrs and then thawed (this will give the tofu a more "chewy/meaty" texture). Also, if you don't have chili oil, use a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper instead."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I’m a single gal in my mid-20’s, raising 2 cats and a horse. A lacto-(sometimes ovo)-vegetarian since 1996 (childhood rebellion run wild), I work or volunteer for various local boutique wineries & vineyards in Northern California.
I use locally grown, organic produce whenever possible. I don't own a microwave or a food processor - probably because my kitchen is too small to fit them in! It also lacks a dishwasher, so any meal that is easy to clean up is a plus.
At age 18, I underwent a 16 level spinal fusion with titanium rods to correct idiopathic scoliosis, which left uncorrected, would have put me in a wheelchair. Since then I have been in 3 car accidents, one of which shattered my left hand (rebuilt) and triggered fibromyalgia.
When not working or cooking, I ride and train horses, paint badly (acrylic), play the guitar and piano, garden (organic), collect books and try to improve my calligraphy.
