Japanese Peasant Stew

Japanese Peasant Stew 

​

1 minced onion, then add:

3-5 stalks celery, diagonally cut

3-5 carrots, diagonally cut

1 medium-size head bok Choy, diagonally cut (romaine lettuce or kale would work, as well)

1 bundle brown rice sticks or Ming bean threads (noodles)

1 Tbsp each: salt, and garlic or onion powder

2 Tbsps sesame oil

4 Tbsps soy sauce (Bragg's Liquid Aminos is free of wheat, refined sugars and preservatives)  

​Chopped green onions (optional

8-12 hard-boiled eggs, peeled.

​

In a large soup pot, sauté the first group of ingredients in a little oil.  Cover with water (about 3 quarts) and simmer until crisp-tender 10-15 minutes, then add remaining ingredients inc. the boiled eggs.  Simmer  5 minutes longer.  Serve with a dollop of "mock sour cream" (2

Cup healthy mayo with 3 Tbsps lemon juice).

​Comments:

I'm usually generous with the carrots, celery and noodles and sometimes add in frozen peas.  I use 2 baby bok choys.  I usually half and half the garlic and onion powders.
