Radiate Love Congee

In light of the nuclear tragedy in Japan and the subsequent radiation that is being dispersed around the globe, even though in small amounts, many sensitive individuals are feeling the impact in various subtle ways. Personally I am increasing the amount of mushrooms and seaweed in my diet. Here is a lovely congee, a thick rice soup like porridge, that can be eaten at any meal of the day.

Ingredients:
4 T sushi rice
4 c water
1 tsp salt
1/2 c shiitake mushrooms, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
1/2 c chopped wakame
garnish: 1/2 c chopped dulse
1 T miso mixed with 4 T hot water

In a saucepan, add all ingredients. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 1 hour.
Garnish with dulse and add the miso to the congee.
