『 Daikon to Shimeji no O Miso Shiru | White Radish & Shimeji Mushroom Miso Soup 』
Hi everyone, I'm MASA
This time I would like to share a very warmly family dish from Japan
It's called ~ Miso Shiru
In Mandarin it's called " Wei Ceng Tang "
I believed everyone know what it is &
I'm sure the whole world (?) also know about this soup
The main ingredient have to use miso to make this soup
It's very simple to make this soup
no requirement for any skill
just prepare the Dashi soup
add your favorite ingredients into the soup
and add miso then can be done
I noticed a lot of people asking me about
how to make miso soup?
So this time I'm going to show you all
about method of making miso soup
Although it's very simple to make this miso soup
but still have sequence & when can add the seasoning
So I'll sharing for this part to you all
and make a very tasty miso soup
Alright ! Let's do it !
Alright ! What type of ingredients can add into the miso soup ?
Ah.. Basically there's no fix ingredients need to be add in
you can use any ingredients you like
Originally is a family dish
and miso soup is a convenient dish also
You can use any left ingredients from your fridge
just cut into small pieces & can make a very tasty miso soup
The ingredient that we often added to the miso soup are
this Seaweed sprouts (Wakame) - 5gm
* pour in clear water
* soak for about 5 minutes
I'm going to use this...
I found this inside my fridge, white radish ~
* White radish - roughly 100gm
About this bottom part of white radish, I've introduced before
Explain the sweet & bitter parts of white radish from 『 Oden cooking 』video
This bottom part is suitable for miso soup
* peel the skin
* finely sliced
# Try to cut into about the same size
* Shimeji mushroom - 1 bag
* cut off the root
* peeling a small piece
Alright ! Next is tofu
you can choose ~ any type of tofu you want
either soft tofu or hard tofu also can
If you want to add fried tofu or processed tofu also can
Remember to scald first then only cut it
In this case, your miso soup will not be greasy hmm
This time I'm using soft tofu - 1/2 box
This type of tofu is easy to shatter
so I'll put it on my hand to cut it
Is OK if you're not use to it
of course you can put it on cutting board
just follow any style you want
It's not necessary have to follow by my style hmm
* Soft tofu - 1/2 box
* cut into half first / # Be careful when cutting with a knife on your hand !!
* cut into a square
# DO NOT PUSH OR PULL APART WITH A KNIFE ~ !
# As long as the up & down cut will be good !
Usually I'll put it into pot after cut because it's easier
but worry about hot water will burn your hand, not safety
so I'll suggest put it into bowl first
* Green onion - 1 spring
# If cut a lot at a time, can use rubber bands to tie it up !
# In this case, the left hand does not need to grip the whole onion all the time !
# When cutting closer to the rubber bands, adjust the position & continue to cut
# Put the extra into the sealed bag & freeze it ( can keep 2~3 weeks )
# It's very convenient to add in fried rice or noodles ~ !
# Seaweed sprouts have softened & squeeze the water out
Let's start heating up
but which ingredient should add in first?
White radish add in first then only turn on the fire
If you don't know which ingredient add in first
or wait until water starts to boiling & add in
You can see where it grew up
If is grow in soil, start from cold water
For example white radish, carrot, burdock, potato
those vegetables are grow in from soil
majority start boiling from cold water
it is easier to be cooked
and vegetables grow on the soil, like...
ah... similar to leaves, like spinach & green bean
ah... it's all grow up on the soil
and those vegetables grow on the soil
it's wait until water is boiled & put it in
* Dashi - 650cc / # Please refer to the 『 method of making Japanese style soup 』
* medium-high heat
* wait until boiling add in Shimeji mushroom
* turn low heat & continue to boil the white radish to soften
# If want to add meat, wait until the root vegetables become soft
Now add in miso
What kind of miso can be use?
They are many kinds of miso
white miso, red miso, sweet miso, salty miso
you can use any kind of flavor you want
Please refer to 『 how to choose miso? 』
I'm going to use this general miso
which is generally easy to buy hmm
and other seasoning are not added
just have dashi, a lot of vegetables flavour
and add miso enough
Because this is a soup
and it also needs a variety of dishes
so the taste of the miso soup is not too complicated
It doesn't have to add in mirin, sugar soy sauce and so on
because this is simply the taste of
vegetables, soup & miso
Remember before you add in the miso
turn off the heat first
if is still boiling and you add in the miso
the miso taste will be gone
Usually I'll use this filter when I add in the miso
because let the miso slowly melt into the soup
# With the filter, can see the progress of dissolving the miso
# If there are small beans in the filter, turn over & pour in
* medium-low heat
* add in seaweed sprouts
And the tofu is not allowed to boil at high temperature
which will effect the taste
In Japanese language is called 『 su ga hairu 』hmm
it's the tofu that produces a lot of bubbles
which will effect the taste
so the tofu is added the last
a little heat is better
# Boil until the bubbles on the edge of the pot
* turn off the heat
Alright ! A tasty looking good miso soup is done
* sprinkle some green onion ~
Wa ~
I'm so happy
to drink this
ah... to thinking of
my own country
Dewa Itadakimasu ~
Oh ~
Hmm ~ !
It's the taste, very warm
Very simple soup, bonito flakes, kelp & miso flavor
and add the flavor of these ingredients
With these 3 tastes that are very satisfying
I like this kind of miso soup eat together with rice
Oh ~ I used to eat like this during my childhood time
very tasty ~ hmm
Alright ! It's very simple to make this miso soup
just need to prepare the dashi & there's miso
You can add any ingredients you want
as long as remember which one to add in first
and which one is added later, remember that
The others can make delicious miso soup at will
The weather is getting cold outside
wish everyone can drink more this type of warmly soup
Let's try it everyone ! Thank you !
