Most restaurants think they are offering you Miso soup, but you'd be surprised at what you're getting. Sure, it's got actual miso paste in it, but besides that sole ingredient, that's all you're getting.
Miso soup is so much more than just miso paste mixed in water; it's made with a special seaweed, bonito flakes and miso paste, but with all these added ingredients, it's actually quite expensive so don't expect your favorite Japanese restaurant to serve you miso soup as it was intended as we have shown here.
Which brings us to a very important point; making miso soup with all these ingredients makes it non-vegan soup due to the addition of bonito flakes. In fact, if this soup is made with Hondashi soup stock, it also makes it a non-vegan soup due the Hondashi having bonito in the ingredients.
Does all this matter at all? It does if you're thinking miso soup is just miso paste and nothing else but if you're at a restaurant that wants to offer the best tasting miso soup, the way it was intended, and you're a vegan, you'd better ask your server, but then again, your server may not even know...
Chef Jet Tila shows us how to make this Japanese Classic from scratch. Swap the MSG laden soup stock for home-made dashi, the heart of most Japanese dishes. All you need to do to make this simple miso soup is wakame seaweed, shimeji mushrooms, tofu and scallions and cook them in aka or red miso.
