MISO SOUP

Dashi is a basic stock used in Japanese cooking which is made by boiling dried kelp (seaweed) and dried bonito (fish). Instant dashi granules are sold in conveniently-sized jars or packets and vary in strength. Add more dashi to your soup if you want a stronger stock. You can use yellow, white or red miso paste for this soup. Yellow miso is sweet and creamy, red miso is stronger and saltier.

Time 15m

Yield Serves 4 as a starter or snack

Number Of Ingredients 6

5g dried wakame seaweed
1l dashi (shop bought or see tip)
200g fresh silken tofu , or firm if you prefer, cut into 1cm cubes
2 tbsp white miso paste
3 tbsp red miso paste
spring onion , finely chopped, to serve

Steps:

  • Put the wakame in a small bowl and cover with cold water, then leave it for 5 mins until the leaves have fully expanded.
  • Make the dashi (see tip below) or heat until it reaches a rolling boil. Add the tofu and cook for 1 min before adding the seaweed.
  • Reduce the heat. 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. Once all the miso is dissolved into the soup, turn off the heat immediately. Sprinkle with chopped spring onions to add colour and fragrance.

Tips for Making Authentic Miso Soup:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your miso soup. Look for fresh, organic vegetables and high-quality miso paste.
  • Use dashi stock: Dashi stock is a traditional Japanese soup stock made from kelp and bonito flakes. It adds a rich, umami flavor to miso soup.
  • Choose the right miso paste: There are many different types of miso paste available, each with its own unique flavor. For a classic miso soup, use a white or light miso paste.
  • Don't boil the miso paste: Miso paste is a fermented food, and boiling it will kill the beneficial bacteria. Add the miso paste to the soup after it has been removed from the heat.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once your miso soup is finished, you can add your favorite toppings. Common toppings include tofu, wakame seaweed, scallions, and mushrooms.

Conclusion:

Miso soup is a delicious and healthy soup that is enjoyed by people all over the world. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and protein, and it can also help to boost your immune system. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make authentic miso soup at home.
