PREPARATION
- Heat The Water: Pour 1½ cups of water into a small saucepan and warm over medium heat until small bubbles form around the edge and do not boil vigorously.
- Add Ginger And Garlic: Stir in ½ teaspoon each of grated ginger and garlic. Simmer gently for 1 minute to release their aromas without scorching.
- Dissolve The Miso: Transfer 1 tablespoon of white miso paste into a small bowl. Ladle in a few tablespoons of the hot broth and whisk until fully smooth, preventing lumps.
- Combine Broth And Miso: Pour the miso mixture back into the saucepan. Reduce the heat to low and stir gently to avoid boiling, which preserves beneficial enzymes and flavour.
- Infuse Flavour: Simmer on the lowest heat for an additional 1 minute, allowing the miso, ginger and garlic to meld fully.
- Add Coriander: Remove from heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh coriander for a bright herbal finish.
- Serve Immediately: Pour into a warmed mug or bowl, ensuring the coriander is evenly distributed. Enjoy while hot for maximum comfort.

TIPS
- Use Low Heat: Keep broth below a simmer to retain miso’s delicate flavours and probiotics.
- Whisk Miso First: Mixing miso with a small amount of broth ensures a lump-free finish.
- Fresh Grate: Grate garlic and ginger just before cooking to maximise their pungency and health benefits.
- Warm Serveware: Preheat mug or bowl with hot water to keep broth warm longer.
- Quality Miso: Choose authentic Japanese white miso for a milder and sweeter taste.
- Adjust Salt: Taste before serving; miso can be quite salty, so extra salt is usually unnecessary.
VARIATIONS
- Mushroom Umami: Add 2 slices of rehydrated shiitake during simmering for extra depth.
- Spice Kick: Stir in a pinch of chilli flakes or a drop of sesame oil for warmth.
- Vegetable Boost: Fold through a handful of baby spinach off the heat for added nutrients.
- Citrus Note: Finish with a few drops of lime juice instead of coriander for bright tang.
- Protein Add‑In: Stir in 2 tablespoons of silken tofu cubes after removing from heat for creamy protein.
- Herb Swap: Use chopped spring onion or Thai basil instead of coriander for a different aroma.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigerator: Store leftover broth in an airtight container for up to two days. Reheat gently over low heat without boiling to preserve flavour.
- Freezer: Freeze portions in ice‑cube trays or small containers for up to one month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm gently before serving.
