What is an authentic miso soup recipe?

Answer 1

Miso soup is a Japanese soup that is served with nearly every meal in Japan. There are different varieties of miso soup depending on what kind of miso you use and what ingredients you mix it with.

Miso soup is made from miso paste (itself made from fermented soy beans), dashi (Japanese fish stock) as well as assorted vegetables and tofu products. There are soups that use pork or chicken with miso but strictly speaking they would not be called miso soup.

Answer 2

There are three main types of ingredients in miso soup:

Dashi - soup stock made from katsuobushi fish flakes and kombu kelp

Vegetables like daikon radish, potatoes, turnip, leek or leafy greens (also tofu)

Miso - the fermented soybean paste that miso soup gets its name from.

Miso soup is best when made with fresh or natural ingredients and simple tastes. If you get good miso and dashi then add one or two fresh vegetables and you definitely will not be dissapointed.

Answer 3

Miso is the elegant Japanese term for fermented soybean paste. A staple of Japanese cuisine, miso may also be made with rice or barley to which mold and salt are added before aging anywhere from 6 to 36 months. This gruesome-sounding process results in a savory paste that ranges in color from golden to reddish-brown to dark brown to black.

Miso paste is rich in mouth-filling, unbound glutamates, which give some foods that meaty taste known as umami. Commonly used to give depth and flavor to soups, miso may also be used to make sauces, marinades and salad dressings. High in salt, it is also rich in B vitamins and protein. A staple of Asian markets, miso is more and more common in general supermarkets.

The pairing of miso and rice is as essential to the Japanese as meat and potatoes are to the American. A common Japanese breakfast is built around rice and miso soup, with the addition of leftover fish, chicken or other meat from dinner the night before.

Miso soup can be made by simply adding dashi stock or boiling water to the paste and stirring well to dissolve. Garnish the soup with cubes of tofu, sliced button or whole enoki mushrooms, strips of dried seaweed or whatever else you have on hand.
