Authentic Japanese Miso Soup In Japan, miso soup is traditionally served by placing it in a small bowl and sipped without a spoon. Miso Soup is soul food for Japanese people. Miso paste is found at Japanese markets, online stores or even in the Asian food section at some American supermarkets. Miso Soup or Misoshiru (味噌汁) is a Japanese soup that can accompany a bowl of rice for any meal of the day, however, it's a staple of Japanese breakfasts.
Steps to make Miso soup:
- Add water and a bag of dashi in a small pot.
- Peel radish and slice and cut them in strips. Add to (1) and cook on a medium heat until soft. (5-10 mins) Lower heat as necessary. Remove the bag of dashi after 5 mins.
- Remove the very bottom part (dirt) of enoki mushrooms and cut them in half (lengthwise). Add to the pot and cook for a few mins after radish is thoroughly cooked.
- Add miso on low heat and mix well.
- Add dried seaweed mix and bring to boil. (Dried seaweed mix expands once wet. Be careful not to put too much!!)
- FYI - I love this dashi brand “Kayanoya” available online. https://usa.kayanoya.com/dashi/kayanoya-original-dashi-stock-powder.html. Of course, any Japanese supermarkets would sell bags of dashi. If you like to make dashi soup stock from scratch using dried bonito flakes, dried fish or konbu, a type of seaweed, you can do so. (Recipe coming up soon!)
- FYI - Root vegetables (typically radish, potato, sweet potato or pumpkin etc) need to be added when water is still not heated so they are cooked evenly. Other vegetables (typically yellow onion, zucchini or bean sprouts etc) can be added once water is heated.
