Miso soup is one of my favorite comfort foods, this is a very simple and quick miso recipe that doesn’t require making dashi.
1TB miso paste (I like mellow white miso paste, try a bunch of different ones to find your favorite)
2TB cold water
1 scallion, sliced into 1/4″ rounds (optional)
2c boiling water
1/2c frozen peas – thawed
1 strip of nori seaweed – cut into fine shreds
- Put the miso paste into a bowl, whisk the water into the paste until it is smooth
- Put the peas, scallions, and nori into the bowl of miso paste
- Pour the boiling water over the miso and vegetables
- Stir until all are incorporated evenly
- The boiling water cooks the peas through without overcooking and ruining the miso
