  • Miso Paste: It’s flavorful, savory, and salty fermented soybean paste. The darker miso, like red miso, ages longer and tastes less sweet than light-colored miso. White miso paste (shiro miso) is the way to go for a sweet and mild taste (Learn more about what miso paste is).

Recipe Tips

  • Add miso paste after turning off the heat to preserve the excellent flavor of miso. Boiling miso can diminish its exquisite taste.
  • If you find the soup too bland, feel free to add more miso paste to suit your taste preferences. On the other hand, if it’s too thick, adjust the taste by adding water.
  • For those who prefer a firmer consistency of egg, extend the cooking time to approximately 3 minutes to thoroughly cook the yolk.

Storage

For any leftover soup, simply transfer the soup to a glass jar or airtight container and store it in the fridge. It will stay good for 3 days.

Serving Suggestions

You can serve your miso soup with onigiri rice balls and other traditional dishes such as kinpira, tamagoyaki, and goma ae to give it a more authentic feel. Find more in our side dish recipes.
