Simple Miso | Dwen Jang Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

Miso or Dwen Jang (Korean version)
Vegetable or Chicken Broth
Cabbage, chopped into bite-size pieces
Onions, chopped into bite-size pieces
Firm Tofu, cubed into bite-size pieces

Directions:

1. Bring broth to a boil in a soup pot - use as much as you would like to make.

2. Add cabbage and onions and simmer until both are tender.

3. Add a heaping tablespoon of dwen jang to the soup directly or use a strainer that is immersed in the soup to squeeze the miso through with a spoon. Using a strainer results in a lighter consistency. Stir well to evenly distribute dwen jang. Have a taste and add more dwen jang if needed to suit your tastebuds.

4. Add tofu.

Serve with a side of steamed rice and any other sides you wish. Feel free to add chopped green onions just before serving for extra flavour and colour.

If you would like added creamy texture and more substance to your miso soup, you can add cubed Yukon gold potatoes when you add the cabbage and onions.

If you enjoy a little heat to your miso soup, add gochujang when you add dwen jang.
