Vegan barley soup served in a bowl.

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • ½ Onion, chopped
  • ½ Carrot, chopped
  • 1 cup Mizuna, chopped
  • ½ clove Ginger, grated
  • 4 Tbsp Pearl Barley
  • 1 tsp Dashi Powder, 5g
  • 3 cups Water, 720ml
  • 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce

Instructions
 

  1. Preparation: Chop the onion, carrot, and mizuna into small pieces. Grate the ginger.
  2. Bring to a Boil: Add the chopped onion, carrot, mizuna, grated ginger, barley, dashi powder, and water to a medium saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the soup to a boil.
  3. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for about 10 minutes until the barley is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  4. Season: Add the soy sauce and stir gently to blend the flavors. Adjust seasoning if needed, then serve hot.

Notes

  • Storage: Transfer to a glass jar, keep it in the fridge, and enjoy within three days. 
  • For variations, you can also add vegetables like potatoes, daikon radish, or mushrooms. Tofu and seaweed are great additions, too!
  • This soup has a light taste, so feel free to add more salt or miso if you prefer a stronger flavor.
  • If you enjoy a spicy kick, add curry powder, Japanese chili spice (shichimi), or some kimchi!
