Miso Soup

Miso soup is a simple soup that is nutritious and low in calories. It makes an everyday appearance in a Japanese meal.

There are many variations of miso soup recipe. This one is an improvised recipe that makes as sumptious as any other miso soup. When I make this miso soup, I am reminded of the afternoon spent at Hitori and Machiko's kitchen preparing lunch.

This recipe serves 2 (2 small bowls each). Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Ingredients:
  1. 0.6 litre water
  2. 1/3 cup dried anchovies 鳀鱼干
  3. 1/2 tbsp soya beans 豆酱 (ground into paste)
  4. 300g or less of soft tofu 豆腐 (sliced into cubes)
  5. spring onions (finely chopped)

Method:
  1. Bring the water to the boil and add dried anchovies.
  2. Boil for approximately 5-10 mins then bring it down to a simmer and start sifting away the anchovies leaving a clear clean soup.
  3. Add cubed tofu into the broth, then bring to boil once again.
  4. Finally add the soya bean paste and stir well before turning off the heat off.
  5. Serve hot with chopped spring onions as garnish.




And as usual, I like to throw in a few related links so you can do some research and comparison before you try making your own Miso soup.
