Coconut Miso Soup

A fantastic food substance for those times when you want to eat something that tastes light but has a shitload of calories. Great stuff if you're on the track team, little use to dieters.

Ingredients

• 1 can coconut milk (and not that 'lite' crap either)
• 3 tablespoons shiro miso paste
• 2 cups water (possibly 3 depending on your rice)
• 1/2 cup jasmine rice
• 1 cup green peas
• 1/2 cup chopped sausage (pork or soy, beef tastes funny and turkey has tryptophan)
• 1/2 cup chopped scallions
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground szechuan peppercorn

Preparation
Mix miso paste with a small amount of water, first, so it actually dissolves instead of getting lumpy. Then add the rest of the water, the coconut milk, and the rice. When the rice is about half cooked (10 min or so), add the pepper and ginger. When the rice is done, add the peas, sausage, and scallions, and keep cooking it for another five minutes or so. This should result in the peas being crisp and the rice being kinda squishy.
