I used to have a roommate who was from Japan. I asked her if she could show me how to make miso soup "the real way", not from a soup mix packet. She shared the same process demonstrated in this video! Sometimes, if I don't have bonito flakes, I use 2-3 dried shiitake mushrooms for the stock along with the kombu. It's a classic, easy, delicious recipe.
This is just lovely as a light breakfast. I live in the Pacific Northwest and right now it's cold and raining most days, which just drives the chill into your bones. This miso soup is just what I needed to pick me up in the morning! I didn't have wakame, but I had the stem end of some romaine Lettice leaves that added some texture and a bright, green flavor to the soup. Very satisfying 😊.
Lovely! I agree, I love that homemade soup stock is easy to make compared to chicken or vegetable stock. :) Thank you for sharing your experience that many of us can relate to!
Thank you Nami for all your content! Your YT channel and website became for me #1 place I go, when I want to actually learn how to cook Japanese food, not just to watch someone showing off their ability to cook!
I just want to tell you that I love all your videos. You have such a clear, intelligent style. Your instructions are detailed, but also easy to follow. Your recipes are all delicious and authentic. I really miss all the food I used to eat when I worked in Japan and your recipes bring back all those wonderful flavors. Thank you so much for all the work and care you put into this channel!
Miso soup is so easy to make and so easy to go down. It’s very comforting to make and drink when it is cold or rainy and I just want something hot to drink.
We can't "buy" dashi, unless you use dashi powder (I don't recommend) or dashi packet. If you want to make it easy, buy this dashi packet (my favorite: amzn.to/3HTSxOf). It's like a tea bag, and easy to use!
I dont have gas range. I have to adjust electric stove's temperature a little higher than medium low heat as well as almost to a boil. I miss having gas range stove top
Based on the type of dashi (we have 6 varieties) and type of miso (countless!), miso soup varies in taste... and there is no best in my opinion because everyone's preference is different. It's a part of fun to figure out what brand or type of miso you enjoy. :)
I need to get the packets to make the dashi. I tried to use chicken stock before, but it's definitely not the same. I also had the wrong seaweed. I need to try it again with the right ingredients.
Dashi-included miso (だし入り味噌) may seem convenient as you don’t need to prepare dashi; however, you can’t expect to enjoy the same health benefits from it. To maintain quality and taste while preventing the container’s expansion, the manufacturer has to add additives and sterilize it by heating, which stops the action of yeasts. So, I don’t recommend opting for dashi-included miso.
It looks even easier than than I imagined. Have you tried it with smoked Tofu? My girlfriend is vegan and we use it often in ramen and other dishes, but I haven't tried it in miso soup yet. I use to make dashi with Shitake so we both can use it and I think it taste better than the one with bonito flakes... 😅
I've never used smoked tofu for miso soup before. Interesting! It might be a nice vegan option to meat/seafood miso soup. Majority of miso soup in Japan is typically made with anchovy dashi (iriko dashi) OR awase dashi (kombu + katsuobushi). As for shiitake dashi... it's not a common dashi to use for miso soup because we think dried shiitake tastes too strong. Only exception is vegan dashi (kombu + dried shiitake dashi), but not commonly used just yet. :)
If I use the dashi packet, I don't need to make the dashi with Kombu and Bonito flakes is that correct? Also, I just keep the dashi and add the Miso, Wakame, and tofu when ready to eat so do not prepare ahead of time?
If you don't have access to Kombu and Bonito flakes, you may use the Dashi packet. To make it ahead of time, prepare the soup without Miso, tofu, and wakame. Then, add these and finish cooking the soup just before serving.
I prefer Awase miso, but it will also work well with red or white. We recommend trying different ones to find your favorite miso.🤗 You can learn more about miso here. Hope this helps! www.justonecookbook.com/miso/

Awww! That’s so sweet! 🤗 Yes that works too and that’s vegan-friendly Dashi 😃
I have seen bonito flakes on amazon.

Oh my god...
Using a whisk to incorporate the miso is GENIUS!
I've been using a spoon and ladle like a fool...
This whisk is called miso muddler (link in description box) and it’s genius. One side measures 2 tbsp and the other 1 tbsp! I love it!
Loved the idea of a new miso soup every month. Can’t wait.
I'm so happy you like it! I'm excited to create many seasonal variations too!
Absolutely excellent in color, aroma, and taste.
I'm so happy you like it!

I agree! I made it this morning just for that reason. :)

What happened to the kids itadakimasu? Miss that so much! 😢

I Iove ❤miso soup when I don't have the tofu I put hard boiled egg and the seaweed
Although tofu and wakame is classic one, we drink miso soup with different ingredients as we drink every day. Your option sounds delicious!
I love miso soup I bought the miso paste and the other ingredients . That’s the way I do it , I just couldn’t find that dashi .
We can't "buy" dashi, unless you use dashi powder (I don't recommend) or dashi packet. If you want to make it easy, buy this dashi packet (my favorite: amzn.to/3HTSxOf). It's like a tea bag, and easy to use!
I dont have gas range. I have to adjust electric stove's temperature a little higher than medium low heat as well as almost to a boil. I miss having gas range stove top
I used to use electric stove as well, so I understand your pain. :(
Hi can i know which flavour of Misco soup has better taste. Thank you

I need to try it again with the right ingredients.
Dashi packets: amzn.to/3uiRpRq. It looks expensive but much cheaper to make dashi than getting storebought chickekn/vegetable stock!
@@justonecookbook I already found some, thank you Nami!
Thanks. Would like to see a miso soup recipe with clams. I think they are called Manila clams.
Yes. I have one on the website: www.justonecookbook.com/clam-soup/ or www.justonecookbook.com/japanese-clam-soup-clear-broth/
Very good soup but I can’t find those food material in supermarket 😢
Have you checked out the online shop?
Thanks for thinking of us vegan ppl ❤❤❤
You can use Kombu Dashi or vegan dashi (www.justonecookbook.com/vegan-shiitake-kombu-dashi/) 🤗
is there any miso come with dashi together?
Dashi-included miso (だし入り味噌) may seem convenient as you don’t need to prepare dashi; however, you can’t expect to enjoy the same health benefits from it.

Hi! I can't seem to find a dashi packet, but i see dashi powder. Is there any difference? If not,how many tbsp i should add?
They are different. Here's how to use dashi powder.
www.justonecookbook.com/dashi-powder/
Hi ! Can the miso be dissolved without using the muddler or net?
You may mix Miso with a little liquid in a dish before putting it into the soup, or you can use a ladle to blend them.
If I had gotten miso broth consecrate instead of miso paste can I still use dashi broth to help the flavor or no?
Yes. Instead of water, try Dashi and adjust the taste!
@@justonecookbook great! Thank you so much for your help! I very much appreciate!
Not boil? Is it save?
You don't want to boil the soup when you add the Miso. More information can be found in the recipe post on my website. 🙂
Deliciosa😊
Thank you!
