Miso soup with pork and vegetables
(Buta jiru) |
|
|
|
Miso shiru is one of the very traditional staples in the Japanese diet.
It is also common to add different ingredients to the basic soup,
depending on what you have in hand. For example, you could add
tofu pieces, or a vegetable such as carrot, daikon (large white radish
also known as ‘mooli’), aubergine, yam, potato, leek or spinach. For
meat, try a little pork or shredded chicken. Some Japanese cooks
add abura-age (deep fried tofu pouches) too.
This soup is excellent as a main course – serve with a vegetable or
hijiki side dish and rice.
