Crafting a Balanced, High-Protein Miso Bowl

Lightly steam edamame and an array of fresh or lightly cooked vegetables such as bok choy, carrots, and mushrooms. Whisk white miso paste with vegetable broth to create a savory, restorative base, adjusting the seasoning with a splash of soy sauce or a dash of ginger for extra depth.

Assembling Your Longevity Miso Bowl

Layer the base grain in a deep bowl and ladle over the steaming miso broth. Arrange tofu, edamame, and vegetables artfully around the bowl for visual appeal. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, sliced scallions, and a drizzle of toasted sesame oil for a boost in flavor and nutrition. Squeeze over some fresh lime or lemon to brighten the taste just before serving.

Instructions

1. Cook quinoa according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
2. While the quinoa cooks, press the tofu to remove excess water, then cut it into cubes.
3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Add tofu cubes and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Set aside.
4. In a small pot, bring vegetable broth to a gentle simmer. Remove from heat and whisk in white miso paste until fully dissolved, then add soy sauce. Return to low heat if needed, but do not boil (this preserves miso’s probiotics).
5. Lightly steam or sauté bok choy, edamame, carrots, and mushrooms until just tender, about 2–3 minutes.
6. To assemble, divide quinoa among bowls. Pour over warm miso broth. Arrange tofu, edamame, vegetables, and any optional toppings artfully around the bowl.
7. Drizzle with toasted sesame oil, garnish with sesame seeds and scallions, and add pickled ginger, avocado, or nori if using. Serve immediately with a citrus wedge on the side.
