Mushrooms, green onions, tofu, and some dried seaweed
I like using the kombu over the prepackaged dashi grains. The pre-dried dashi tastes overly umami to me and the "slow method" with the kombu only takes one extra step
I would still eat that tho
I’ll try that some day! This is only the second time I’ve ever made it and I just tried the first recipe I saw. I’m trying to add more meatless recipes into my diet so I’m trying to learn more Asian recipes and stuff I can use tofu for
Dashi usually contains katsuobushi (bonito flakes) aka smoked and fermented skipjack tuna. It's concentrated umami.
If it looks like miso, smells like miso, it probably isn't great miso.
Looks fucking great, yeah. Was just a miso soup related Japanese proverb
Looks great! What dashi powder are you using?
Also does the tofu taste kind of raunchy? I think maybe I was just using shitty tofu but I always had to boil it seperately then add it at the end
The label on the bottle came off completely, it was just whatever I could find at my local Asian grocery, it’s a little round bottle with a red cap.
And no the tofu came out great! The first attempt I cut it too big, and it was kind of hard to eat but this time it was perfect. It was basically the last thing I added though
Miso soup is something you can really go nuts with. Add some noodles, pumpkin, boiled eggs. Lots of tasty stuff
