This recipe is pretty simple but there are many ways to prepare it. Nikumiso is great with steamed rice, fried rice, fried noodles, pasta, sandwiches, and very tasty just wrapped in lettuce. The possibilities are endless… The recipe I made here was a nikumiso bento box (lunchbox), served on a bed of rice, and topped with a fried egg and carrots for extra deliciousness!
