4 Mushroom Miso Soup Recipe | Japanese Comfort Food in 20 Min

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