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.
