Ginger-Miso Broth With Wilted Greens

(2)

Sip on this warming broth alone or make it a meal with wilted greens and a soft-boiled egg. For something a little more filling, add cooked soba noodles. Ginger is proven to be highly effective in combatting nausea, plus it's great for digestion. Miso paste, a fermented condiment commonly used in Asia is incredibly nutritious and aids in digestion. Plus its probiotics make for a healthy gut. If you’re new to miso, go easy—a small amount can go a long way in terms of flavor. Whether you sip on ginger-spiked miso broth as a warming beverage or bulk it up for a meal, this is one recipe that proves clean eating can be simple, nourishing and delicious. Top it off with a bit of Togarashi, a Japanese spicy condiment made from chili peppers and other ingredients like sesame seeds and nori. Use it for more than just soup: it also goes great with seafood, roasted vegetables, and noodle dishes.

  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 (3-in.) piece fresh ginger, unpeeled and sliced

  • 1 large garlic clove, smashed and peeled
