autumn miso soup

Tuber veggies make good autumn miso soup.

Ingredients are as below (well, more or less use whatever veggies you have).

- chayote
- taro
- carrot
- onion
- fried thin tofu
- kombu
- miso

Cook veggies and mix in some miso to the soup. It's as simple as that.

home-made kefir

When I visited a supermarket last time, I noticed that all packages of yogurt did not indicate where they were produced. All of cheaper ones had 'dairy products', which is NOT milk. Then I thought, alright I am going to make my own yogurt out of milk I can clearly see where it was produced.

This is not exactly yogurt, but kefir. I warmem up about a litre of milk to around 45 degrees (celsius). I mixed the bacteria into the milk and left overnight between 45 - 30 degrees. When I woke up and checked, the kefir was ready.

This kefir can be used over and over with new packs of milk.

pickled daikon and turnip

Daikon and turnip are, I must say, pretty good for pickles.

Basically what you need is only salt.

Try out whatever other ingredients you like.
