I cut the recipe to serve 2 and the amount reduced for 2 servings would serve 4 . The taste was good with all the wonderful vegetables being represented and miso taste came through very nicely. Next time I make this I would skip the last part of enclosing veggies in paper. It would help to add oil in the ingredients for stir frying. Thank you Celticevergreen for posting this recipe.
