Miso Soup

Japanese miso soup is a delicious way to start our Japanese feast. Miso is a fermented soy bean paste that is combined with the dashi or seaweed broth that is flavored with bonito flakes. Tofu is added to the broth along with some scallions for a warm and inviting simple soup. This is a very common soup dish in Japan and is often sipped directly from the bowl. The louder you slurp the better, it shows you like it! Also as a side note, if you are making the shabu-shabu as well, it also uses dashi (the broth) so be sure to make enough for both.
