It is no exaggeration to call miso soup the national soup of Japan. They must drink this soup as long as they eat. The dining etiquette taught in Japanese elementary schools is to drink miso soup in the first bite, rice in the second bite, and vegetables in the third bite. What is the charm of miso soup that can make Japanese people who care about food love so much?
The so-called miso is a sauce made from fermented soybeans. The method of authentic miso soup is to boil water in a small pot and add the bottom material. The representatives are tofu and sea vegetables. In addition, various vegetables such as radish, eggplant, potatoes, onions, etc. can be added. After the material becomes soft, it is necessary to add umami flavors, which come from natural products such as dried fish and kelp. When the tofu and vegetables are soft and umami seasonings are added, miso should be added. Take an appropriate amount of miso with a soup spoon and add it to the soup, use chopsticks to stir into the soup, melt, and a pot of nutritious miso soup with rice is ready. It is soup, but it is different from the broth, chicken soup, and fish soup that takes time to cook. It takes 10 minutes to complete, which is equivalent to the feeling of a tomato and egg soup. Because it is quick and convenient, people can stick to it every day.
Drinking miso soup is not only because of its delicious taste, but also its nutritional value. Miso is a fermented food that has a good bowel function and can eliminate waste from the body. In addition, it also contains soybean soap, which can prevent fat oxidation and promote metabolism. The rich vegetables in miso soup greatly increase the dietary fiber content. You might as well keep a box of miso in the refrigerator to make soups that are convenient and delicious.
