Recipe: Yummy Miso Soup

Miso Soup. You can use yellow, white, or red miso paste for the soup, depending on your preference. The soup is also served for lunch or dinner with more complex garnishes. The simplicity of miso soup belies its significance to Japanese cuisine, where it is a common course for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Make dashi: In a large pot over medium heat, bring water and kombu to a simmer. Remove kombu as soon as the water starts to simmer. Miso soup (味噌汁, misoshiru) is a traditional Japanese soup consisting of a dashi stock into which softened miso paste is mixed. You can cook Miso Soup using 5 ingredients and 3 steps. Here is how you achieve it.

Ingredients of Miso Soup

1. It's 2 cups of vegan dashi stock.
2. It's 2 tablespoons of miso.
3. It's 1 inch of square of silken tofu.
4. You need 3 pieces of wakame seaweed.
5. It's of 2 spring onions to garnish.

In addition, there are many optional ingredients that may be added depending on regional and seasonal recipes, and personal preference. Along with suimono (clear soup), Miso soup is considered to be one of the two basic soup types of Japanese cuisine. Put both types of miso in a ladle or strainer and dip it into the pot. Slowly loosen up the miso with a spoon inside the ladle or strainer; the paste will slowly melt into the dashi.

Miso Soup instructions

1. Hydrate the wakame seaweed by soaking in a little hot water. Chop the spring onions (you only need the greens) to garnish..
2. Gently heat the dashi stock and seaweed and hear gently for a few minutes. Stir in the miso paste but do not boil the liquid as it will destroy nutritional benefits and taste. We used brown rice miso, which has quite a strong but delicate flavour. Taste your stock and add more if required. Add the tofu and continue to heat for a minute..
3. Serve and garnish with spring onions. This is nice to start a meal or as a side dish with rice and vegetables..

Once all the miso is dissolved into the soup, turn off the heat immediately. Sprinkle with chopped spring onions to add colour and fragrance. That is, of course, a different miso soup recipe that needs to mention in a separate article. Scoop the miso soup into the dainty miso soup bowl. The exterior of these bowls is usually black with a bright red interior.
