Homemade Miso Soup Recipe!

Last week we did the dashi broth, and this week we're putting it to use by making miso soup! It's shocking how simple this delicious soup is, and you can achieve a flavour almost identical to the restaurant style soup you get at really good sushi places. Once you have that dashi broth, it's just a matter of getting the ingredients in at the right times for them to cook just enough! Also, when you make it at home, you can make some fun additions and have more stuff in it than you get at restaurants.

We used Shimeiji mushrooms in this recipe, but you can use anything you like. Tougher mushrooms like Shiitake will take longer to cook, and tiny and tender Enoki mushrooms will cook very quickly. The tofu and wakame seaweed should be the last things you add, just before serving, leaving them in the soup just long enough to get warm. Also, make sure you don't boil the broth after the miso has gone in, because it may start bringing out some bitter flavours.

It tasted great, too!

We'll be putting up a video of pork katsu soon. We were a little shocked when we learned just how little actually goes into katsu sauce!

I can't seem to find it. I hear your shock at how simple these recipes are. I recently started making fermented vegetables. For years I gardened and put up vegetables with traditional canning jars and pressure cooking. LOTS of work. When I realized how simple and healthy the fermented vegetables are I was delighted and have put up several varieties of vegetables just this week in about an hour.

Yeah, we've got a whole playlist on our channel of fermented stuff. Hubby got into fermentation while he still had his restaurant, made a huge assortment of in-house fermented items for sandwiches and cheese boards. Also, a bunch of fermented stuff to put on skewers for our Caesar!

Here's the dashi video:

I don't know anything about cultivating mushrooms myself. I've seen places online where you can buy spore prints to cultivate your own culinary mushrooms at home, but that's the extent of my knowledge!
