Notes

  • Dissolve the miso paste before adding it to the broth to prevent clumping.
  • Avoid boiling the soup after adding miso to preserve its delicate flavor.
  • Use a blend of mushrooms such as shiitake, oyster, enoki, and baby bella for extra depth.
  • Store the broth separately from the noodles to maintain the best texture.
  • Tofu, chicken, shrimp, or soft-boiled eggs can be added for extra protein.
  • Add chili oil or chili paste for a spicy variation.
