miso soup - which is nicest brand ?

[MaryAnnSingleton]

• was looking at packs of instant miso yesterday - does anyone have this and what would they recommend ?

Love green tea but, (not very oriental) I have to have it with a slice of lemon.

your welcome MAS, RH..

i do it to sight really
hate 'cup' recipes to!! but have now bought measures for them....

a good blob, dessert spoon to a pint boiling water...is kind of what i do
it is STRONG stuff

dont EVER eat natto just dont, - anyone
public service announcement...!

yes lemon sounds nice
i do it straight

full of antioxidents..

my parents barf at my tea 'collection'!!

Rofl @ people barfing at your tea collection

Just looked it up on wikipedia and it looks awful am i the only one who didn't know what miso soup was????

I love green tea and white tea (can recommend Swirling Mist white tea made by Dragonfly- bit stronger than green tea,and darker) Green tea is a bit nasty if bag in too long !

isn't miso soup meant to be great for breakfast?

yes, probably more sustaining than cornflakes

sea
they do takeaway deliveries of ramen and miso soup in japan ...small family run resturants deliver by bicycle ceramic bowl with lid...you leave it outside your door when done and they collect!
fast food eh?!
eaten any time of day

wow what a service .

they only had the Sanchi stuff - will go to health food shop instead -

I like Clearspring better than a couple of other brands I've tried (I can't remember the name of the other brands).

i use sanchi
like clearspring too
whatever i can get my hands on at the time

are you near oriental supermarket? they sometimes do jap cross over stuff these days
ours has best tofu i've add in ages

no, not nr oriental supermarket,sadly

Does instant miso soup taste different to diluted miso paste? I tried the latter and it was really tasteless, I tried adding some more paste but it didn't really dissolve, just floated around. T'was grim. Did I do something wrong?

profyaffle
miso (paste) treat like stock (see earlier posts)
and
easier to mix it with small amount of water first, tehn add rest
like custard powder

I was thinking of getting the paste but didn't in the end

Really like miso soup so must chip in here though haven't read all posts - make from scratch with dried kombu and bonito flakes (omit if vegetarian) and miso paste. Takes less than 10 minutes and tastes miles better than instant. I think the kombu gives it a richer aftertaste. Put anything in them and kids scoff them down. It's magic.

Note though that lots of miso paste contain gm stuff. I get the organic brown stuff from posh organic shop...
