Bento by Yuki & Noriko ($15.99, Race Point Publishing, 2020)

Ingredients

  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1- to 1 1⁄2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, smashed
  • 2 green onions (1 cut in half for the soup and 1 chopped for garnish), divided
  • 2 Tbsp miso
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp mirin
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, add the chicken broth, ginger, garlic, and halved green onion, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 3 minutes and then discard the ginger, garlic, and green onion.
  2. Add the miso, soy sauce, and mirin, and return to a boil. Add the sesame oil and remove from the heat. Immediately transfer the soup to insulated jars.

Notes

  • Making soup from scratch can be time-consuming, but store-bought chicken broth is surprisingly tasty with a few key ingredients.
  • Use the low-sodium broth and then add enough miso and soy sauce for more flavor.

Use it for this delicious lunch!

Early food prep can make your morning go more smoothly.
