Cooking Tips
- Cooking buckwheat: To enhance the nutty flavor of buckwheat, you can toast the groats in the saucepan for 2-3 minutes before adding the broth.
- Vegetable variations: Feel free to swap out or add more vegetables based on your preference or what you have on hand. Spinach, kale, or zucchini make great additions.
- Egg alternatives: If you’re vegan or prefer not to eat eggs, you can substitute them with tofu scramble or chickpeas for your protein source.
- Flavor boosts: Adding herbs like parsley, cilantro, or dill to the bowl can introduce fresh, aromatic flavors. A drizzle of tahini or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving can also elevate the taste.
