In Case of Emergency...

Single Serve has a chapter on pantry essentials. Keeping a stock of non-perishable ingredients minimizes shopping for the meals you want to cook, saves time and money.
If you stock the following ingredients this soup can be put together in a few minutes for a light meal or snack whenever you want one.
I have another recipe for miso soup in Single Serve (pictured) that includes a few more ingredients and makes more of a meal.
-
1 tbsp. dark miso paste
-
½ tbsp. soy sauce
-
2 cups of water
-
1 tbsp. dried seaweed
-
A handful of vacuum-packed Asian noodles
Mix the miso paste with soy sauce in a small saucepan over a low heat for about a minute.
Add the water a little at a time, stirring it into the paste to form a smooth mixture.
Rinse the noodles under hot water, squeeze them so they separate, then add them to the pot.
Add the seaweed and cook for one minute then serve.
