Best Japanese Miso Soup Recipes
JAPANESE NOODLES IN MISO SOUP MISO NIKOMI UDON
Posted in reply to a request. Translated from a Japanese language cookbook (Shinkatei Hyakkajiten Vol. 1, Kodan-sha, 1967). I have recently made this, and will rearrange the directions to be more user-friendly by the end of April '05. Please regard the amounts of chicken, eggs, kamaboko, as suggestions. Udon are the comparatively thick white Japanese noodles made with white wheat flour. Weighing the miso would be most accurate, but my conversion chart says 160 g miso is equal to 140 ml, or 1/2 US cup plus 1.4 tablespoons. Please use caution, because miso is very salty.

Steps:
- Cut the chicken into small pieces and salt lightly.
- Soak the shiitake in water until the tops (but not the stems) are soft.
- Remove the stems and cook briefly in a small amount of water flavored with soy sauce and sugar, to flavor mildly; I would use about 1/4 cup water with 2 to 3 teaspoons each soy sauce and sugar.
- Prepare the aburage by placing it in a metal sieve in the sink and pouring 1 to 2 cups boiling water over each side, being careful not to burn yourself.
- This is to remove some of the oil.
- Rinse in warm water, squeeze dry and cut into 3 by 1/2 cm rectangles.
- Wash and scrape the gobo with the edge of a knife (the most flavor is just below the surface of the skin, so don't scrape too deeply; the scraped areas will darken almost immediately, this can't completely be helped), and cut into slivers, as if you are sharpening a pencil, into a bowl of water.
- Cut the green onion into thin slices.
- Peel the hard boiled eggs and slice horizontally.
- Stir the miso and dashi together and strain.
- Place miso mixture into a large pan; add the milk and just bring to a boil.
- Immediately lower the heat to simmer.
- Boil the udon in a lot of boiling water in a separate pan.
- Stop cooking when the udon is still a little firm; drain and rinse under cold running water to remove starch.
- Add the drained udon, chicken, drained shiitake, aburage, and gobo to the pan containing the simmering miso mixture, in this order.
- When the udon and chicken are cooked through add the kamaboko and green onion and increase heat so that the soup will just boil up once more.
- Remove from heat, divide into individual bowls, garnish with hard boiled egg slices and sprinkle on sansho.
JAPANESE MISO SOUP
This is a light but filling soup that's easy to make and tasty. Note: This is a salty soup that can be made with white miso, but if you mix red and white, the flavor is superb. Some cooks drop an egg into the soup as it cooks, and/or add mushrooms or slices of white radish or potato. It can be served by itself or poured over a bowl of rice to make a gruel, accompanying a dish of fish and yellow Japanese pickles called takuan.

JAPANESE TAKE-OUT MISO SOUP
If you eat at a Japanese restaurant, you will probably be served miso soup to start your meal. At its base is dashi, a simple soup stock flavored with kelp and dried bonita flakes (a type of tuna). Ichiban dashi is fundamental to Japanese cooking. Ichiban means "first" in Japanese and Ichiban dashi is the stock that results from the first brewing of the ingredients. It's used in clear soups. The first dashi can then be used again, adding more kelp for a second brewed stock that is considered a less refined version of Ichiban dashi. Miso, a salty, fermented paste made of soybeans, is also added. One of the few different varietied of miso available, we've chosen sweet white miso for this recipe. It's less salty than other types. From the Take-Out Menu Cookbook.

Steps:
- To make the dashi: Line a strainer with cheesecloth and set it over a saucepan.
- Wipe the surface of the kombu with a slightly damp kitchen towel, removing dirt and sand. Combine the kombu and 6 cups water in a pot over medium-low heat and bring to a simmer. Do not boil, as the kombu can become slimy and unpleasant.
- Remove the kombu once it has risen to the surface. Immediately add the katsuobushi. After 10 seconds, remove the pot from the heat and skim off any foam. When the katsuobushi sinks to the bottom of the pot, pour the mixture through the cheesecloth into the saucepan.
- To make miso soup: Soak the wakame in cold water for 5 minutes, then drain and set aside.
- Bring 4 cups of the dashi to a boil over medium-high heat. Reserve the rest of the dashi for later use. Lower the heat, add the miso paste, and stir to dissolve. Add the tofu and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and add the green onion and wakame. Serve hot.
- Make ahead: Dashi can be made up to 4 days ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator. It can also be frozen for up to 1 month.
