TIPS

Here are some tips to help you prepare this ginger miso comfort soup.

  • Preserve Nutrients: Avoid boiling the miso to maintain its probiotic benefits.
  • Balanced Flavour: Add a splash of soy sauce or tamari for a richer taste.
  • Extra Depth: Use homemade dashi instead of vegetable broth for a traditional umami boost.
  • Garnishing Ideas: Sprinkle with sesame seeds, seaweed flakes or a dash of chilli oil for an extra kick.
  • Protein Boost: Add edamame beans or an extra serving of tofu for more plant-based protein.
  • Serving Suggestion: Pair with steamed rice or a side of sushi for a complete meal.
  • Spice It Up: Add a pinch of white pepper or wasabi for an invigorating heat.

VARIATIONS

  • Spiced Version: Stir in a bit of gochujang or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Hearty Additions: Include sliced mushrooms, bok choy or spinach for extra texture.
  • Nutty Flavour: Add a drizzle of toasted sesame oil for depth.
  • Low-Carb Alternative: Replace tofu with shirataki noodles for a keto-friendly version.
  • Fermented Boost: Mix in a spoonful of kimchi for an extra probiotic punch.
  • Crunchy Topping: Garnish with crushed nori or roasted seaweed for extra umami.
  • Cooling Summer Version: Serve chilled with ice cubes and a splash of yuzu juice.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently, avoiding boiling.
