Daikon & Mushroom Miso Soup
Miso soup or “misoshiru” in Japanese is a traditional soup commonly eaten in Japan. It is super easy to make and dashi and miso paste are the two major ingredients used in this soup.
Dashi or the soup stock can be easily made from scratch. If you don’t have the time or just want a quick and easy miso soup, dashi powder is also commonly used. Depending on regional and seasonal recipes, and personal preference, many ingredients such as mushroom, daikon, fish…. are often added. In this recipe, I use daikon and mushroom.
