Love miso soup? Try shimeji mushroom and okra miso soup from ‘JapanEasy Bowls & Bento’
If you’re a lover of miso soup, we have just the recipe for you.
In “JapanEasy Bowls Bento: Simple and Satisfying Japanese Recipes for All Day, Every Day”, out Tuesday, MasterChef winner Tim Anderson shares recipes for noodle bowls, soups, Japanese donburi, curries and more — including a recipe for shimeji mushroom and okra miso soup.
For his newest cookbook, Anderson took inspiration from konbini, Japanese convenience stores, where, “the ethos is that even busy people deserve a good meal.” So, the MasterChef champ aims to help at-home chefs prepare good meals for themselves and their loved ones at any time of day. But the book is two-pronged: It’s not just about cooking daily, it’s about meal prep. Anderson is on his own quest to make his fridge into a personal konbini with pre-made food ready to munch on at any time.
