Miso Mushroom Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Make the dashi: Put kombu, dried shiitakes, soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar in a large soup pot. Add 6 cups cold water. Place over medium heat, allow the liquid to barely reach a boil, then reduce heat to low and let cook at a very slow simmer for about 30 minutes. Skim foam as necessary. Let cool to room temperature. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and add salt to taste. (Dashi may be prepared up to 2 days in advance.)
• Put the sliced mushrooms in a bowl and drizzle with sesame oil and soy sauce. Add garlic and ginger and season with salt and pepper. Toss and let marinate for 10 minutes.
• Put dashi in a large soup pot over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Add mushroom mixture and cook gently for about 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are just tender.
• Remove 1/2 cup hot broth from pot and place in a small bowl. Stir in miso to dilute, then return miso-broth mixture to the pot. Taste and adjust seasoning. Once the miso has been added, do not let the soup boil.
• To serve, cut the tofu in half and place a 3-ounce chunk in each of two large bowls. Ladle 2 cups of hot soup over the tofu. Sprinkle with enoki mushroom tips, scallions, shiso, sunflower sprouts, nori, red pepper and toasted sesame seeds as desired.

Steps:

• combine water and mushrooms in a saucepan, bring to a boil.
• remove from heat, remove mushrooms.
• cut off stems, discard, slice caps thinly.
• return to water, bring back to simmer and cook 15-20 minutes.
• add spinach and tofu, simmer for 1-2 minutes.
• remove from heat.
• in a small bowl combine miso with 2 tbsp of broth and mix well.
• stir into soup.
• sprinkle each serving with sliced scallions and 1/4 tsp of sesame oil.

Steps:

• In a large soup pot over medium heat add the scallion white parts, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Cook for 1 minute and add 8 cups water. Rinse the kombu and add it to the pot along with the bonito flakes. Bring it to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes - do not let it boil. Remove the kombu and set it aside. Add the dried mushrooms and miso to the pot and let it simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are hydrated and tender. Add the bok choy and simmer until it is tender, about 10 minutes. Add the tofu and cook for another 5 minutes. Ladle into bowls and garnish with the reserved green parts of scallions.

Steps:

• Cook mushrooms and 1 teaspoon salt in a large, dry saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms collapse, darken slightly, and most of moisture cooks out, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Add oil and chopped scallions; cook until scallions are tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in ginger, garlic, and miso and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer 5 minutes.
• Reserve 2 tablespoons coconut milk, then add the rest to a blender with mushroom mixture (work in two batches, if needed). Purée until very smooth, about 2 minutes, removing blender cap and covering hole with a folded kitchen towel to allow steam to escape.
• Return mixture to saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. If a thinner soup is desired, stir in more broth, a little at a time. Season with salt and white pepper and serve, drizzled with remaining coconut milk and topped with fried mushrooms and scallion tops.

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the mushrooms and fry for 5-6 mins, or until golden. Transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the remaining oil to the pan and fry the tofu for 3-4 mins, or until evenly golden.
• Mix the miso paste with 325ml boiling water in a jug. Cook the noodles following pack instructions, then drain and transfer to a bowl. Top with the mushrooms and tofu, then pour over the miso broth. Scatter over the spring onions just before serving.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine dashi granules and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and whisk in the miso paste. Stir in tofu. Separate the layers of the green onions, and add them to the soup. Simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a pot, combine the kombu and water to cover and bring to a boil. Remove the kelp and discard. Add the bonito flakes, stir well, and remove from the heat. Let the flakes settle to the bottom of the pot. Strain the stock through a fine sieve, discarding the bonito flakes. Return the stock to the pot and add the mushrooms.
• Cook over moderate heat for about 3 minutes, or until the mushrooms have softened. In a small bowl, stir together a ladle of stock with the miso and stir the mixture into soup. Divide the soup among 4 bowls and sprinkle with the reserved enoki and the scallions.

Steps:

• Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a saucepan. Add the mushrooms, reduce heat to low, and simmer 4 minutes. Stir the miso paste and soy sauce together in a small bowl; add to the broth along with the tofu and continue cooking for 1 minute more. Pour the soup into bowls and top with the green onions to serve.

Steps:

• Heat the dashi to a simmer in a saucepan. Add the mushrooms and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Soften the miso in a small bowl by mixing it with a few tablespoons of hot dashi. Pour the softened miso into the saucepan. Heat the soup, being careful not to boil, and add tofu. Pour into individual soup bowls and garnish with the green onions.
• Combine the water and kelp in a large pot. Bring the water to a boil, removing the kelp just before water boils since it emits a strong odor. If the fleshiest part of the kelp is still tough, return it to the water for a few more minutes, along with a little cold water. (Soft kelp means sufficient flavor has been extracted.) Remove the kelp and bring stock to a full boil.
• Add 1/4 cup cold water to bring the temperature down quickly and add the bonito flakes. Bring to a boil, and then immediately remove from the heat. (If bonito flakes boil too long, the stock becomes bitter.) Allow the flakes to settle to the bottom of the pan, then filter the stock through cheesecloth.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a bowl, whisk the miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, garlic and half the sesame oil until smooth and combined. Line a baking tray with a large sheet of foil, place the mushrooms in the middle and scrunch up the sides to almost encase the mushrooms. Pour over the miso mix, turning the mushrooms to ensure they are well coated. Scrunch the packet of foil closed and bake for 30 mins.
• About 5 mins before the mushrooms are ready, heat the remaining oil in a wok, stir-fry the noodles until hot through then divide between 4 bowls. Top each bowl with 1 or 2 mushrooms and pour over the sauce from the foil. Scatter with sesame seeds and spring onions.

Steps:

• Using extreme caution, cut the tofu into cubes, trim snow peas. Cut mushroom ends
• In a medium size saucepan, Add dashi and bring it to a boil. Add tofu, snow peas, and enoki, for 3 minutes.
