Ingredients: 1/2 cup dried mung beans, rinsed, 1 tbsp pre-cut wakame seaweed, 4 cups water, 2 tbsp white miso paste (or 1 tbsp red miso paste)
Directions:
- Combine mung beans, seaweed, and water in a medium-size pot of water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, then simmer, covered, over low heat for 1 hour.
- Remove 3-4 tbsp of the stock from the pot and, in a separate bowl, mix with the miso paste, making sure all lumps are stirred out before gradually stirring the miso mixture back into the soup.
- Serve and enjoy!
