miso soup

twilight88

among the numerous japanese restaurants in MM, which one has the best tasting miso soup? to miso soup lovers, pa-share naman ng recipes. also, which supermarket provides the widest variety of ingredients required in japanese dishes?

Baddie

Here is a recipe that uses tofu, green onions, and mushrooms.

Ingredients:

about 30 half-inch cubes tofu
4 mushrooms, sliced
2 stalks green onions, chopped
4 cups water
2 teaspoons dashi (nomoto)
3-4 tablespoons miso (adjust to taste)
Directions:
Boil 4 cups of water and dashi. Add tofu and mushrooms, simmer gently about 3 minutes. Add miso and dissolve completely. Immediately turn off the heat and add chopped green onions, then serve.

Note: You have to cook the hard vegetables longer. If you have a combination of soft and hard vegetables, add the soft vegetables later. The miso flavor will weaken if you overcook the miso.

there's this store across landmark (kahilera ng aji ichi ban) which sells a lot of japanese food stuff. they even have a variety of instant miso soup mixes. Meron din japanese store sa corner ng quezon ave and timog (kahilera ng red ribbon). Meron din sa Megamall (katabi ng mann hann - i don't know if this is the correct spelling of the restaurant)

In addition to Baddie's recipe, you could try adding Wakane (seaweed) and a dash of bonito flakes to give it depth (if bonito flakes are not available you can substitute this with a dab of smoked herring flakes).
You can also add a few slices of your favourite vegetables if you want to. When I stayed with my host family in Tokyo, my host "mom" added several diced carrots and parsnips to the broth...miam :drool2:

The taste of miso soup really depends on the miso itself. There are 3 types of miso: light, red and dark. Personally, I think the best is red miso. It has a rounder flavor with more depth.

i love to watch the particles of miso billowing like brown clouds within a black laquered bowl.

miso is miso. I cook miso at home I just add whatever I can. It's like a ramen broth to me.

Nothing special like a chicken broth or vegetable broth. It's just a paste you add to the water.

The paste is the difference. Always get quality miso paste.

gotta lick it

sinigang na miso is the best. it always gets the attention of tourists.

and there are still some people who think miso soup is taken at the start of a japanese meal.
