Ingredients
6 cups water1 stalk lemongrass, cut into chunks2 T dried mushrooms1/3 cup uncooked quinoa1/2 cup edamame, shelled1/2 cups sliced leek (or scallion or onions)1 inch ginger, peeled and minced1 medium carrot, thinly sliced1 cup thinly sliced bell pepper6 tbsp red miso
-Boil 4 cups water )not included in ingredients), add quinoa to boiling water. When quinoa is half-cooked, add edamame beans. When both are fully cooked, drain and set aside.
-Bring the 6 cups water to a simmer, add the lemongrass and dried mushrooms. Simmer until other ingredients are ready, then remove the lemongrass and mushrooms. You can chop the pieces of mushrooms and add back to the soup if you like.
-Saute the leeks and ginger in the oil until translucent. Add the sesame seeds and other vegetables.Saute until done to your preference. I like lightly cooked.
-To finish: set aside 3 cups of broth and add the miso to disolve. Meanwhile, add the reserved quinoa / edamame and the sauteed vegetables to the broth (minus the lemongrass) and simmer together for five minutes. Turn off the heat and add the reserved broth and miso mixture. Serve immediately.
