Light Japanese Morning Broth

This is a great light way to start your morning or end your day. I like fruit, coffee and yogurt in the morning, so I eat this at the end of the day. Japanese tradition would have this in the morning.

Add the following to a saucepan:
2 cups water
1/2 inch ginger root, peeled
1-2 garlic cloves peeled
1/2 cup spinach, kale or other tough leafy green
1/2 cup chopped mushroom
1/8 cup quinoa
3'' square of whitefish (cod, tilapia) or firm tofu cubes
1/8 t tumeric
salt/pepper to taste

Bring to a boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes (until desired tenderness and to infuse the broth with flavor). Remove the ginger and garlic; garnish with cilantro, chives, mirin and/or rice vinegar to taste.
