Yields 2-3 portions.

This recipe uses Shirakiku® Shiro White Miso Paste.

Miso soup is usually made with dashi broth because water is not enough to bring out the umami flavor of the miso. In this recipe, the mackerel provides the flavor, so using water is fine.

You can add any vegetables for miso soup. Common choices are carrots, mushrooms, eggplants, zucchinis, and potatoes. Cook them in the soup before you add the miso (the miso shouldn’t boil).

Soy sauce and mirin add depth to the taste, but they are not a must. If you make this miso soup only with miso without soy sauce or mirin, use 35 g of miso.

Garlic or ginger goes well with miso soup as well. Add a half teaspoon of either to add a nice kick to the taste if you like.
