Miso And Gorgonzola Soup Food

MISO SOUP

Steps:

• Put the wakame in a small bowl and cover with cold water, then leave it for 5 mins until the leaves have fully expanded.
• Make the dashi (see tip below) or heat until it reaches a rolling boil. Add the tofu and cook for 1 min before adding the seaweed.
• Reduce the heat. Put both types of miso in a ladle or strainer and dip it into the pot. Slowly loosen up the miso with a spoon inside the ladle or strainer; the paste will slowly melt into the dashi. Once all the miso is dissolved into the soup, turn off the heat immediately. Sprinkle with chopped spring onions to add colour and fragrance.

MUSHROOM AND GORGONZOLA SOUP

Steps:

• Place 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet and melt over medium-high heat. Stir in the onions, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook and stir until onions are soft and mushrooms reduce, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, place the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a pot, and melt over medium-high heat. Stir in the flour; cook and stir until mixture turns golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and rosemary; stir to blend ingredients. Reduce heat to medium. Stir the gorgonzola cheese and mushroom mixture into the chicken broth mixture; bring soup to a simmer and cook 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Place half of the soup into a blender. Blend until smooth, and return to the pot. Stir in the sherry, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes more. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, to serve.

AUTHENTIC MISO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat water in a large pot over low heat. Add kombu and cook until the mixture just begins to simmer. Stir in bonito flakes until combined. Remove pot from the heat and let dashi sit, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Strain and set aside.
• Heat 3 1/2 cups dashi in a pot over medium heat. Add tofu and wakame; stir to combine. Remove 1 cup warmed dashi to a small bowl and whisk in miso paste. Pour miso mixture back into the pot with remaining dashi. Stir until warmed through. Serve garnished with chopped green onions.

MISO MUSHROOM & TOFU NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the mushrooms and fry for 5-6 mins, or until golden. Transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the remaining oil to the pan and fry the tofu for 3-4 mins, or until evenly golden.
• Mix the miso paste with 325ml boiling water in a jug. Cook the noodles following pack instructions, then drain and transfer to a bowl. Top with the mushrooms and tofu, then pour over the miso broth. Scatter over the spring onions just before serving.

MISO SOUP

Steps:

• In a saucepan heat the dashi and whisk in the miso pastes. Bring to a simmer and add the tofu, scallions, and mirin, if using. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
• In a saucepan, combine the water and kombu. Bring to a simmer, uncovered, over medium heat. Remove the kombu and discard. Bring the liquid to a boil, add the bonito flakes and immediately remove the pan from the heat. Allow the dashi to sit undisturbed for 2 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a medium bowl. Discard the bonito flakes. Use immediately or store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

15-MINUTE MISO SOUP WITH GREENS AND TOFU

Steps:

• Place vegetable broth in a medium sauce pan and bring to a low simmer.
• In the meantime, place miso (starting with lesser end of range) into a small bowl, add a little hot water and whisk until smooth. This will ensure it doesn't clump when added to the soup later. Set aside.
• To the broth add chard (or other greens of choice), green onion, and tofu (if using silken, add at the end of cooking) and cook for 5 minutes. Then add nori and stir. Remove from heat, add miso mixture, and stir to combine.
• Taste and add more miso or a pinch of sea salt if desired. Serve warm. Best when fresh.

MISO SOUP- HOW TO MAKE WITH ONLY 6 INGREDIENTS (EASY)

Steps:

• Clean the kombu with a damp cloth.
• Place it in a pot of water and soak it for at least three hours (better overnight) to extract its flavor.
• After soaking, bring the water temperature up to nearly boil, and remove the kombu immediately.
• Heat the dashi to barely below boiling point. Add the katsuobushi.
• Let the katsuobushi steep for 5 minutes at the sub-boiling point.
• Strain through a cheesecloth or kitchen tissue to remove all the katsuobushi.
• Measure 500ml (2 cups) of dashi. Bring it to a boil.
• Turn off the heat.
• Put the miso paste in the miso strainer, lower the strainer into the dashi and gently stir until it dissolves.
• Sprinkle some wakame in cold water to let it re-hydrate for five to ten minutes until it expands.
• Pass through a strainer and gently squeeze the wakame to remove the excess water.
• Add the wakame to the dashi.
• Add the tofu cube to the dashi.
• Sprinkle some cut scallion into the miso soup right before serving.

SPAGHETTI GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions.
• Heat a thick bottomed or stainless steel pan to medium heat and add the oil and bread crumbs. Toast lightly while stirring for a minute or two.
• Remove the breadcrumbs from the pan and wipe clean.
• Place the pan back on the element and increase the heat to medium high. Add the cream to the pan, allow it to heat up to just below a boil and reduce for a couple of minutes. The cream should thicken slightly. Stir in the nutmeg.
• Remove the pan from heat and melt the gorgonzola into the sauce. Add the strained pasta and toss to coat it with gorgonzola sauce.
• Add the spinach and stir to combine until the spinach has just wilted.
• Divide between 2 plates and garnish the pasta with the toasted breadcrumbs.

MISO VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups water and rice to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook until the rice is just tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Add stir-fry vegetables to the pot, increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Cook until the vegetables are heated through, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tofu and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Combine miso and the remaining 3 tablespoons water in a small bowl and stir to dissolve. Add the miso mixture, scallions, vinegar and sugar to the soup and stir to combine.
