Make BETTER Miso Soup at Home with this ONE Step

Level up your miso soup at home with a dashi stock from scratch. Dashi is the basis for many dishes in Japanese cuisine including hot pots, simmered dishes, and of course miso soup. Once you have a homemade dashi, you’ll never want to go back to the granulated version. It only takes about 20 mins, and you will be on your way to a super umami and flavorful dashi.

Also featured in this video, is miso soup with seasonal ingredients including komatsuna, enoki mushrooms and abura-age (fried tofu). Feel free to sub with other vegetables that you like!
