00:00This mushroom miso soup is a great way to make the most of 4 produce and contains 4
00:05different kinds of mushrooms. It's delicious, super easy to make and perfect for mushroom fans.
00:16Start by heating 1 litre of dashi over medium heat.
00:23I recommend using homemade dashi and I have a recipe on my channel if you want to know how.
00:28If you want to save time, the dashi packets that use teep in hot water are the next best alternative.
00:35Once it's almost boiling, pour in a quarter teaspoon of soy sauce and reduce the heat to a simmer.
00:42Now let's add our mushrooms. I'm using 75g of thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms,
00:48a 100g bunch of enoki mushrooms, 100g of shimeji mushrooms and 50g of nameko mushrooms.
00:56These are all common mushrooms in Japan but of course you can substitute them for your
01:01favourite local edible mushrooms. Some ideas include maitake, oyster mushrooms,
01:06thinly sliced portobello mushrooms or even butter mushrooms.
01:11Let those simmer for about 3-5 minutes depending on the size of your mushrooms and how you cut them.
01:18The good thing about mushrooms is that they cook pretty fast, so they're perfect for whipping up
01:23a quick miso soup. Once the mushrooms are warmed through and cooked to your liking,
01:29turn off the heat and add 4 tablespoons of miso paste using the miso strainer.
01:33If you don't have one, a mesh spoon or ladle also works and if you don't have those,
01:39then place your miso paste in a small bowl and loosen it with a few tablespoons of dashi
01:44before you add it to the rest of the soup. All of these tips ensure the miso is evenly
01:50dispersed into the soup without any lumps. I use awase miso which is mixed miso.
01:55Pour it in two serving bowls and topped with a sprinkle of green onions for a burst of freshness
02:09to balance out the earthiness. It's so good and one of my favourite kinds of miso soup.
