I personally can’t go out for a sushi dinner without starting off with a tummy-hugging miso soup! Not only is it really tasty but it’s considerably high in protein too, in the form of tofu. Especially since veggie sushi is usually lacking in significant protein content. Another tip to add a vegan source of protein to your sushi dinner, is ordering a portion of steamed edamame. Anyways, back to instant tofu miso soup!
