More photos to follow but for now …
A super simple sea vegetable based miso broth with turnips, tofu and greens …
Normally better to cut out the veins which are a little tough but crunchy celery like – so cut them out and slice matches sticks like, then grill first – creating “noodles” then the greens for better results. Stir-fry with sesame oil and some ginger – bland? Nooo, oozing with flavor but if you’d like drizzle with tahini or miso dressing or … some soy sauce. Improvise to your liking. Again, not spending hours – just few minutes when you don’t have time to devote to cooking. Focusing on classes to teach and studies … then my sister from Japan visits for just 3 nights. Happy Day Everyone. 
A good stir as miso – protein rich fermented food champion – will sink to the bottom of the pot … get the lacquered bowls ready for the gathering…
Tomorrow marks the final day of the cleanse where we undergo a mini-fast. The key word is “mini” so it’s not to feel like a deprivation – just a little rest for the digestive tracts. It’s never ever about depriving ourselves. Rather, it’s a lovely self-care protocol, to prepare for the seasonal transition – from summer to fall, then from fall to winter … each transition phase, taking extra care of our body-mind-spirit.
