Duck stock from roast duck at United Noodle. (Take the fat off, first, and fry your breakfast eggs in it. YUMMMM.)
1/3 small cabbage.
1 cup shredded carrot.
Cook one hour on low in large slow-cooker. It will smell great.
Add 1/4 cup dried shiitake mushrooms.
Continue to cook for another hour, despite the result smelling like dog barf.
Add 1/3 cup good miso and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce.
Continue to cook. Have discussion with a loved one about the possibility of calling out for pizza for dinner, because neither of you wants to eat something that smells so bad.
Cook for another 6 hours. Stir only occasionally, holding your breath if you like. This becomes less necessary as the cooking goes on.
30 minutes before serving, taste and then add salt-- we added about 1 teaspoon additional salt.
Serve, and be pleasantly surprised.
