Mushroom and kelp miso soup
Overview
It is said that the secret of Japanese longevity is three bowls of miso soup every day. Miso is a fermented soy product that is rich in nutrients and contains more protein, fat, sugar and various minerals. Eating miso regularly can not only prevent various cancers, but also lower cholesterol, inhibit fat accumulation in the body, improve constipation, and prevent high blood pressure and diabetes. The easiest way to eat miso is to make soup. Use miso as the soup base and mix it with tofu, kelp or other vegetables. It is moist and nourishing. Drink more soup for nourishment in autumn. You might as well try miso soup. Traditional miso soup uses kelp and bonito flowers to extract the soup stock to add freshness and flavor. Although Muyu flower can be produced fresh, it is a relatively acidic food. If you emphasize vegetarianism, you might as well remove the bonito flowers and use dried shiitake mushrooms with kelp to enhance the freshness. The taste is still light but mellow, rich but delicious.
