MISO SOUP- HOW TO MAKE WITH ONLY 6 INGREDIENTS (EASY)

Steps:

• Clean the kombu with a damp cloth.
• Place it in a pot of water and soak it for at least three hours (better overnight) to extract its flavor.
• After soaking, bring the water temperature up to nearly boil, and remove the kombu immediately.
• Heat the dashi to barely below boiling point. Add the katsuobushi.
• Let the katsuobushi steep for 5 minutes at the sub-boiling point.
• Strain through a cheesecloth or kitchen tissue to remove all the katsuobushi.
• Measure 500ml (2 cups) of dashi. Bring it to a boil.
• Turn off the heat.
• Put the miso paste in the miso strainer, lower the strainer into the dashi and gently stir until it dissolves.
• Sprinkle some wakame in cold water to let it re-hydrate for five to ten minutes until it expands.
• Pass through a strainer and gently squeeze the wakame to remove the excess water.
• Add the wakame to the dashi.
• Add the tofu cube to the dashi.
• Sprinkle some cut scallion into the miso soup right before serving.

MISO SOUP

Steps:

• In a saucepan heat the dashi and whisk in the miso pastes. Bring to a simmer and add the tofu, scallions, and mirin, if using. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
• In a saucepan, combine the water and kombu. Bring to a simmer, uncovered, over medium heat. Remove the kombu and discard. Bring the liquid to a boil, add the bonito flakes and immediately remove the pan from the heat. Allow the dashi to sit undisturbed for 2 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a medium bowl. Discard the bonito flakes. Use immediately or store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

HOMEMADE MISO SOUP WITH TOFU

Steps:

• Gather all the ingredients.
• Cut the green onion into thin rounds.

MISO SOUP

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.

MISO SOUP

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine dashi granules and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and whisk in the miso paste. Stir in tofu. Separate the layers of the green onions, and add them to the soup. Simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.

MUSHROOM MISO SOUP

Steps:

• Make the dashi: Put kombu, dried shiitakes, soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar in a large soup pot. Add 6 cups cold water. Place over medium heat, allow the liquid to barely reach a boil, then reduce heat to low and let cook at a very slow simmer for about 30 minutes. Skim foam as necessary. Let cool to room temperature. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and add salt to taste. (Dashi may be prepared up to 2 days in advance.)
• Put the sliced mushrooms in a bowl and drizzle with sesame oil and soy sauce. Add garlic and ginger and season with salt and pepper. Toss and let marinate for 10 minutes.
• Put dashi in a large soup pot over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Add mushroom mixture and cook gently for about 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are just tender.
• Remove 1/2 cup hot broth from pot and place in a small bowl. Stir in miso to dilute, then return miso-broth mixture to the pot. Taste and adjust seasoning. Once the miso has been added, do not let the soup boil.
• To serve, cut the tofu in half and place a 3-ounce chunk in each of two large bowls. Ladle 2 cups of hot soup over the tofu. Sprinkle with enoki mushroom tips, scallions, shiso, sunflower sprouts, nori, red pepper and toasted sesame seeds as desired.

NOBU'S MISO SOUP

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat dashi over low heat. Place miso in a fine strainer, and place in dashi. Using a whisk, gently push miso through strainer. Cook until heated through.
• Place tofu slices in soup, and cook until they rise to the top, about 1 minute. Add scallions to soup bowls, and ladle soup over. Serve immediately.

MIGHTY MISO SOUP (WITH DASHI - FISH STOCK)

Steps:

• Place dashi stock in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Cut the tofu block into small cubes and add them to the dashi.
• Simmer the tofu in the dashi stock for a few minutes on very low heat.
• The miso is the tricky part, you have to take out a bit of the soup stock from the pan and dissolve your miso into it.
• When the miso dissolves, add the dissolved miso to the pan gradually.
• DO NOT boil the soup after you put the miso inches This is the only way you can mess up this soup.
• Stir the soup gently.
• Turn off the heat and add chopped green onion, shitake mushrooms and dried wakame seaweed flakes.
• Add the omega fish oil and soy (if desired).
