    I was right, it is lovely, and light. I might make it again and try noodles instead of rice, or add a handful of petit pois, chopped chestnut mushrooms or celery .... or just stick to the recipe as given.

    This does sound lovely and I want to make it - but what is mirin? And is it vital if I can't get it here in rural France. Message to Ants - it is not silly, but 500ml weighs 500g!

    I made this for one of my 5:2 diet fast days and it was beautiful. I have never used miso before but now I am hooked. It looked a small portion but was very filling. Polly, miso is a very sweet Japanese rice wine. You can substitute with a little caster sugar. I would suggest starting with a tsp and adjust according to taste. It is necessary to balance the saltiness of the soy and miso.

    Sorry, my comment should read "mirin is a very sweet Japanese rice wine." Oops!
