I usually drink only a big coffee for breakfast and don’t start being hungry before 10 am. If I happen to work at home, this is the moment when I have my late breakfast and my absolute favourite meal is miso soup (miso shiru \u5473\u564c\u6c41). It is quick, healthy, full of proteins, low in carbs and quick to prepare. In short, a perfect breakfast. However, by soup miso I don’t mean the tiny bowl which is a part of traditional Japanese meals. I have my miso soup in a bigger bowl and the ingredients I add are often more then unorthodox.<\/p>\n
For those who have never had or made a miso soup, it is composed of dashi (Japanese stock) and miso (fermented soybean paste). The most popular dashi version seems to be made with dried bonito flakes and konbu (a type of seaweed). It can be bought ready-to-use, but making dashi at home is very easy and in some countries (like in Switzerland) it is simply cheaper. I make my dashi stock every other week, in big batches, and then store it in the fridge, ready to be reheated. For me the biggest advantage of a home-made dashi is the lack of salt (present in instant dashi). It means I can add more of the delicious miso paste or soy sauce when using my stock. (Click here to see\u00a0Primary <\/a>and\u00a0Secondary Dashi<\/a> recipes.)\u00a0Apart from the miso soup, dashi is necessary in many Japanese dishes, such as Fish in Barbarian-Style Marinade<\/a>, Oyakodon<\/a> or Udon Soup<\/a>.<\/p>\n Going back to the miso soup, I always make sure it is packed with proteins, which keep my hunger away for much longer than anything rich in carbs. Tofu is the most frequent ingredient I add, but I also like to use leftover cooked vegetables, mushrooms, seafood or meat. Shrimps are among my favourites; I often have them in my freezer and they are very quick to cook. Today, apart from the shrimps, I have also added some of my beloved firm tofu and sprinkled everything with frozen dill, which is not only ideal for shrimps, but, strangely, goes perfectly well with miso soup on its own. If someone had told me a year ago that dill is the ideal seasoning in miso soup, I wouldn’t believe it, but now I keep it chopped and frozen all year especially for my regular shrimp soups.<\/p>\n Preparation: 15 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n Ingredients (serves one):<\/em><\/p>\n 300 ml dashi stock<\/em><\/p>\n 6 medium cooked shrimps<\/em><\/p>\n 60 g tofu cut into cubes (I prefer the firm one here)<\/em><\/p>\n 1\/2 teaspoon fresh or frozen chopped dill<\/em><\/p>\n 1 heaped tablespoon miso<\/em><\/p>\n Combine the dashi with miso.<\/p>\n Add the shrimps and the tofu and heat in a small pan, stirring from time to time.<\/p>\n (Do not let it boil!).<\/p>\n When the soup acquires the desired temperature (I prefer it warm, not hot), pour it into a bowl and sprinkle with chopped dill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I usually drink only a big coffee for breakfast and don’t start being hungry before 10 am.
