TIPS
These tips can help you make a better Miso Turmeric Broth:
- Don’t Boil Miso: Always remove from heat before adding miso paste to maintain probiotic benefits.
- Use Fresh Water: Filtered water enhances the purity and taste of this broth.
- Adjust Flavour Strength: More miso = stronger umami. Use ½ tsp for a lighter taste.
- Enhance Turmeric Absorption: A pinch of black pepper can help your body absorb curcumin from turmeric.
- Strain If Needed: For a smoother broth, strain after mixing if your daikon is fibrous.
VARIATIONS
- Add Ginger: Grate ½ tsp of fresh ginger with the turmeric for an extra warming effect.
- Seaweed Add-In: A strip of wakame or a few nori flakes boosts mineral content.
- Spice It Up: Add a pinch of cayenne or chilli flakes for a little heat.
- Savoury Version: Include finely chopped mushrooms or a dash of tamari for a bolder taste.
- Cooling Broth: Replace spring onion with chopped coriander and serve lukewarm in warmer weather.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Fridge Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Stir before reheating.
- Reheat Gently: Warm slowly over low heat to avoid damaging miso’s live cultures. Do not boil.
- No Freezing: Freezing is not advised as it can alter the flavour and texture of miso and daikon.
- Batch Preparation: You can prepare the turmeric-miso base and add fresh toppings when serving to retain texture and nutrients.
