Yuki’s Tips
It is best to place a little boiling water in the bowl or cup first, in order to warm it up. Throw away the water and begin with putting the ingredients in.
You can add noodles if you want something a little more filling.
Double the portion of the recipe and add your favourite pre-cooked noodles in a larger bowl, and serve as a main dish.
You can choose any type of miso; light or dark. Adjust the amount of miso, depending on the flavour preference. Use white rice miso for a more gentle strength of flavour.
Dashi powder (stock) is available at most oriental stores: Kombu dashi (vegetarian kelp option) or Katsuo dashi (Bonito).
Alternatively, you can use powdered kelp or shitake mushroom powder.
