Macrobiotics Cooking with Linda Wemhoff:

Tip 10: Dessert is ideally eaten after the kitchen is cleaned... maybe a walk has been taken so the fruit dessert doesn't upset the grain/protein digestion.

Autumn/Winter 2

Grain: Millet
Protein: Tempeh Chips with Sweet and Sour Sauce
Seaweed: Hijiki Roll
Vege: Carrot Burdock Saute'
Fresh Salad or Kale
Pickle: Whole Red Radish or Quick Red Slices
Dessert: Harvest Pudding (prepared ahead of time) 

Millet
1 cup millet
3 cups water
pinch of sea salt

1. Rinse millet quickly in cold wate, strain, rinse and strain again. 
2. Bring the water and salt to a boil. Add the millet and simmer for 20 minutes without stirring.  
(If the millet is added to the water before it's boiling, the millet will be more like a porridge. You can also quickly dry-toast the millet in a skillet before adding it to the boiling water for a nuttier taste.)

Tempeh Chips with Sweet and Sour Sauce
canola oil for deep frying
1 lb. tempeh 
2 cups frozen green peas and corn

sauce - 1 cup water, 1 TB umeboshi paste, 1 TB rice syrup, 1/4 cup kuzu diluted in 1/4 cup cold water;

1. Cut the tempeh into 4 pieces, then cut each in half in width and then into strips.
2. Heat the oil until when one piece of tempeh is dropped in the oil, it immediately floats to the top. Drop 8 strips in one by one. When they are golden brown, remove and put on to a paper towel so they stay crispy. Then do the next batch. Finish all and set aside.
3. To make the sauce, bring the water to a boil and quickly blanch the frozen peas and corn. Remove and set aside.
4. Add more water if necessary to have 1 cup of boiling water. Whisk in the umeboshi paste and rice syrup.
5. Slowly add the diluted kuzu to this simmering mixture and stir for 1/2 minute. The sauce will thicken.
6. Serve the tempeh chips on the millet and garnish with the sauce.

Hijiki Dinner Roll
1 pkg. hijiki
1/2 - 3/4 cup each of water and apple juice
1 TB. shoyu

for the crust: 2 cups unbleached white flour, 3/4 cup corn oil, 1 pinch of sea salt,
1/2 cup ice cold water, lemon zest;

1. Rinse and soak the hijiki in water just-to-cover for 15-20 minutes.
2. Pour off the soaking water and chop fine.
3. Put into a skillet and just barely cover with equal parts water and apple juice. Simmer with the lid off for 25 minutes.
4. When the liquid is almost all gone, season with the shoyu and cook off the remaining liquid.
5. For the crust, mix the ingredients & roll out thinly. Cut into 12" long, 4" wide strips.
6. Put a 1/2" thick layer of hijiki in the middle of each of the rolls. Pinch the long ends together and make a small fold on the ends.
7. Bake 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees until golden on the top.
