TIPS
- Don’t Boil Miso: Add Miso off the heat to keep its gut-friendly probiotics alive.
- Use Soft Or Firm Tofu: Firm tofu holds shape better, while soft tofu gives a silkier texture so both work well.
- High-Quality Broth: Use homemade or organic bone broth for maximum collagen and nutrients.
- Adjust Saltiness: White Miso varies in salt content, so taste before adding extra salt.
- Optional Garnish: A sprinkle of sesame seeds or nori strips adds texture and umami.
VARIATIONS
- Vegan Version: Replace bone broth with vegetable broth and use chickpea miso for a plant-based alternative.
- Protein Boost: Add a poached egg or shredded chicken for extra protein and substance.
- Spicy Touch: Stir in a pinch of chilli flakes or a drop of chilli oil for heat.
- Vegetable Additions: Add spinach, mushrooms or courgette ribbons for extra fibre and nutrients.
- For Low Sodium Needs: Use low-sodium broth and Miso sparingly, adjusting flavour with herbs and spices.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Fridge Storage: Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Freezer Storage: Not recommended due to tofu texture and miso separation, best enjoyed fresh.
- Reheating: Gently warm on the stove without boiling. If frozen broth is used, add Miso after reheating.
