Miso Soup

Recipe by: Michelle Chen

Reviews(5)

Dashi is a basic stock used in Japanese cooking which is made by boiling dried kelp (seaweed) and dried bonito (fish flakes). Instant dashi granules are sold in conveniently sized jars or sachets and vary in strength. Add more dashi to your soup if you want a stronger stock. You can use yellow, white or red miso paste for this soup. Yellow miso is sweet and creamy, red miso is stronger and saltier.

Based on Japanese-style fondues, in which food is cooked at the table in a flavoursome broth, this chicken and vegetable casserole makes a satisfying main course all in one pot. A sharp and savoury citrus sauce provides a delicious dip to season the succulent ingredients individually just before they are eaten.

Shabu-shabu steak

This Japanese-style one-pot meal is great fun as a sociable dinner party dish, but it is also simple enough to serve as a midweek meal. Meat and vegetables are cooked briefly in stock, then the delicious stock is served as a soup at the end of the meal, so maximum vitamins and minerals from the ingredients are retained.
