I like simple food, or in any event food which is simple to prepare. Miso, the japanese spice and the principle ingredient in miso soup, is a favorite of mine. For me comfort food is miso soup and rice, perhaps with a side of cut and seasoned nori (seaweed). The earliest historical record of miso dates some 1500 years ago, where the use of soybeans was a necessary substitute for meat protein.
I generally mix the rice and miso soup together, placing me smack dab in the middle of culinary heaven, where I can channel Fenton-san of feudal Japan.
