Ingredients
Scale
- 750 ml (25.4 fl oz) organic chicken or vegetable stock
- 2 tbsps miso paste
- 100 g (3.5 oz) silken tofu
- ½ savoy cabbage
- 1 carrot
- 3 cm (1.2 inches) piece of ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 fresh red chilli
- low-salt soy sauce
Instructions
- Stock Preparation: Gently heat stock in a large saucepan over medium flame, creating a simmering base for the soup’s foundation.
- Aromatic Infusion: Mince garlic, ginger, and chili into fine pieces, then introduce them into the simmering liquid, allowing their essence to permeate the broth for 4-5 minutes.
- Vegetable Integration: Slice cabbage into delicate strips and carrots into elegant diagonal pieces, then fold them into the aromatic stock. Cover and simmer for 3-4 minutes until vegetables reach a perfect tender-crisp consistency.
- Flavor Enhancement: Whisk miso paste thoroughly into the broth, ensuring complete dissolution. Incorporate soy sauce to amplify the soup’s umami depth and seasoning.
- Tofu Incorporation: Cut firm tofu into neat, bite-sized cubes and gently nestle them into the simmering vegetable mixture. Allow tofu to warm through delicately for 2-3 minutes without aggressive stirring.
Notes
- Miso Mastery: Choose white or yellow miso for a milder, sweeter flavor that blends smoothly into the broth without overpowering other ingredients.
- Vegetable Precision: Cut vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the soup.
- Tofu Technique: Use firm tofu and handle gently to prevent breaking, adding it last to maintain its delicate structure and prevent overcooking.
- Heat Control: Maintain a gentle simmer instead of a rolling boil to preserve the delicate flavors and prevent miso from losing its nutritional benefits.
