Food Tip |
"A man accustomed to American food and American domestic cookery would not starve to death suddenly in Europe, but I think he would gradually waste away, and eventually die." |
| 'A Tramp Abroad', Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens) (1835-1910) |
This Recipe for Aka Miso (Summer Miso Soup) is one of thousands in the Recipes-to-go Ethnic Cookbook.
"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’." |
| John Thorne, American food writer |

Place the ichiban dashi in a 2 quart saucepan and set a sieve over
the pan. With the back of a large spoon, rub the miso through the
sieve, moistening it from time to time with some of the dashi to help
force it through more easily.
Bring the soup to a simmer over moderate heat. Then remove from the
heat and stir in a small pinch of MSG.
Pour the soup into bowls, add misoshiru no-me (miso soup garnish -
see recipes) and serve at once. If the soup seems to be seperating,
stir to recombine it.
Miso soups are sweeter than other Japanese soups and usually are
served toward the end of a formal Japanese meal.
