Ingredients
- Beef sliced: 200g (7 oz)
- Miso paste white or red: 3 tablespoons (45ml)
- Dashi stock: 4 cups 950ml
- Soft tofu cubed: 100g (3.5 oz)
- Green onions chopped: 2
- Wakame seaweed: 15g 0.5 oz, dried
- Shiitake mushrooms sliced: 4
- Water: As needed
Instructions
- Begin by soaking the wakame seaweed in cold water for about 10 minutes or until it expands.
- In a large pot, bring the dashi stock to a gentle simmer.
- Once simmering, add the beef slices, ensuring they don’t overlap. Let them cook until they change color. This usually takes 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate the tofu cubes and shiitake mushrooms into the pot.
- In a separate bowl, combine the miso paste with a few tablespoons of warm water. Mix until you achieve a smooth consistency.
- Reduce the heat of your simmering pot and stir in the miso mixture. It’s vital to avoid boiling miso as this retains its flavor and beneficial nutrients.
- Let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing all ingredients to meld.
- Just before turning off the heat, add in the hydrated wakame and freshly chopped green onions.
- Serve your Beef in miso soup immediately, while it’s steaming hot!
Notes
- Always add miso paste toward the end and avoid boiling to preserve its unique flavor and health benefits.
- For those keen on a spicier kick, you can add a dab of chili paste or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
- If dashi stock isn’t available, a mild vegetable broth can be a good substitute, though it won’t have that classic umami flavor.
