Introduction
An exceptional, rich, and sweet pork miso soup that extracts moisture and umami entirely from onions instead of adding extra water. Enjoy a one-of-a-kind flavor that, while simple, concentrates the essence of its ingredients.
Step 1
Add 650ml of water and 10g of kombu to a pot and heat. Remove the kombu just before it boils, then add 20g of bonito flakes to make a rich dashi stock.
Step 2
Peel 3 onions and slice them into slightly thick half-moon shapes along the grain.
Step 3
Strain the dashi through a colander, pour 600ml back into the pot, and bring to a heat.
Step 4
Once the dashi is warm, thoroughly dissolve 120g of miso into the pot.
Step 5
Add 400g of pork and cook while breaking it apart with chopsticks until the pink color disappears.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
By simmering only with the onion's own moisture instead of adding extra water, the soup gains a thick texture and an exquisite sweetness. 💡
Use firm (momen) tofu as it holds its shape well and absorbs flavor, and cut it into large pieces to prevent it from breaking apart. ⚠️
Be sure to taste the soup once finished and adjust the amount of miso according to your preference. 🍳
