Udon in Miso Soup

0 comments

I admit that before this, I had always thought that miso soup was simply miso paste mixed with boiling water. Good thing that I wasn't overly confident and checked the web for its recipe. Instead of water, it should be dashi plus miso paste.

I also found out the difference between red miso paste and yellow miso paste. The former contains more salt and is therefore more salty than the latter.


Ingredients:

  • 200 gm udon 
  • 4 cups of dashi soup stock 
  • 1/3 cup of miso paste 


Preparation:

  • Bring dashi soup stock to boil. 
  • Using a small bowl, ladle some dashi over miso and mix to get a smooth paste. This is to prevent lumpy miso floating in the soup later. 
  • Turn down heat and add in miso. 
  • Allow the soup to simmer. Do not let the soup boil as the miso taste will dissipate. 
  • Serve miso soup over pre-cooked udon.
