To start a TAAT about miso soup?

[Amethyst24]

Can't remember the OP's name but there was a long thread a couple of weeks ago about whether miso soup with ground sesame seeds in counts as a meal. I've now made it for the second time (admittedly with added chicken and prawns) and can confirm that it not only is a meal, but is fucking delicious. So thank you, OP.

Oh do you have the recipe please? I love it in a restaurant but i have no idea how to recreate at all

wine I can't tell you how restaurants do it nor how the original OP did, but I chopped up garlic, the white bit of some spring onions, ginger and chilli finely and fried for a bit with some chopped up chicken breast, then added home made chicken stock from the 365-day MN chicken and once it had come to the boil added sliced mushrooms, julienned carrot and red pepper, cauliflower and broccoli florets broken up into small bits. Meanwhile I blitzed some sesame seeds in the coffee grinder and put frozen prawns, edamame beans, the green bits of the spring onions and some chopped coriander in a bowl and mixed some miso paste with boiling water to soften it. Once the soup was boiling again I added all that. When the frozen prawns are pink, it's done. Yum.

That sounds delicious! I love miso soup

So, um, miso with spring onions, ginger, garlic, chilli, chicken breast, mushrooms, carrot, cauliflower, broccoli, prawns, edame beans, coriander, chicken stock and miso makes a meal? I suspect that would be a meal without the miso...so not sure it quite proves your point...

That does, indeed, sound like a meal. However, it doesn't actually compare with the somewhat miserly offering debated in the earlier thread. Yours had food in it!

We often do a ramen, largly based on a Wagamamas recipe., which is gorgeous and very filling. Per person it has whole wheat noodles, half a chicken breast and half a boiled egg in with all the veg. we vary the portions, eggs are popular with the kids here so we often do more, dp wants a whole breast. Sometimes we use tofu instead of chicken.

I work from home and often do a quick stir fry of veg, usual garlic, ginger and chilies. Miso sachet, water and noodles. It makes me feel like Ive had a proper lunch with flavour.

When I worked at an office I wanted to work on a recipe where i could chuck the cold miso stock in with noodles, herbs and ginger, veg in a microwave container to be nuked at work.

Yabu. Miso soup is awful IMO. Give me Heinz tomato soup with thick buttered tiger bread any day of the week!

Marking my place for later.

The only difference from yours and the ops Is meat. So we are back to vegetarian bashing, its not food with out meat in innit?

No sPJPPp, the OP on here had a lot more veg content than the original op even without the meat it is a lot more substantial. The original op's basically contained sweet potatoes, peas, ground sesame seeds, the miso and nothing else. Still haven't forgiven original op for putting sweet potatoes in miso :( Yours sounds lovely op :)

What's miso, please?

Because of this thread I've had to make this for dinner!

No jasper the other soup was loaded with veg and had garlic, chilli, spring onion,coriander.
