Nostalgia & Miso Soup

Hello reader,

Have you ever eaten enoki mushrooms?

<3

I love enoki mushrooms, they are definitely in my top list for favorite ingredients. They're what makes this miso soup so nostalgic for me, I haven't had them in ages. If you haven't had them, I would say that you would probably like them if you like foods like udon noodles.

To make this miso soup you will need:

• tofu
• enoki mushrooms ( I used 150g)
• miso
• scallion

Let's start ourselves off by boiling a half a pot of water.

The next thing is cubing the tofu. I like to have small bite size cubes that are around 1 cm. If you have trouble cubing tofu, here are three easy steps to guide you:

1. Slice across and down (vertical slices)
2. Slice across the middle of the tofu (making layers)
3. Slice the other way (vertical slices again) and the cubes will form

You don't need very much tofu

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Now add your tofu cubes to your pot of boiling water, be careful that the tofu doesn't have to fall too far to get into the pot, otherwise you may end up being splashed by boiling water.

Let this boil for 15 minutes. During this time prepare the enoki mushrooms. This is as easy as:

1. Rinse mushrooms and cut off roots
2. Split mushrooms and rinse again (split them big or small as you please)

Step 1

Step 2

Once the 15 minutes has passed, add the enoki mushrooms to the pot as well as miso, then turn the heat to medium and stir it occasionally.

Note: For the amount of miso, I take a sundae spoon--or any spoon where the head is no wider than a quarter--and using this spoon put 2 heaping spoonfuls of miso into the pot and stir.

I didn't add miso yet, but this is what your soup should look like so far.

The last ingredient that we will add is scallion. Simply wash it, and then cut off short bits into the pot until you reach the white part.

Note: Cut off the very end of the scallion before adding any to your soup, as it's dried out...a tip from my mom :)

SCALLION END? NOT SAVORY

Let it cook for 5 more minutes and you're done.

Finally <3

And now I'll be eating some miso soup in my piggy bowl. It's delicious.

Piggy bowl :D

May you drink delicious miso soup~
