    Mixed Miso Soup Recipe-Japanese Taste

    Mixed Miso Soup Recipe

    by Ayumi Matsuo

    Soup Side-dish

    This is the third installment of our miso soup recipe series. We're going to introduce a miso soup recipe using a very special type of miso paste known as mixed miso. 

    While many people are familiar with white miso and red miso, mixed miso may not be so well known outside of Japan. Mixed miso, or awase miso (合わせ味噌) is made by mixing different grains such as soybeans and barley that have gone through the miso fermentation process and turning them into a paste. Each variation of mixed miso has its own unique flavor profile. 

    In order to allow the flavor of the miso to shine in this recipe, we are using very simple and standard miso soup ingredients. Ingredients such as tofu, wakame seaweed, and daikon radish do not have very strong flavors on their own, but they soak up the flavor of whatever they are being added to. They are classic ingredients used in miso soup, and they pair perfectly with mixed miso. 

    Mixed miso is already very balanced on its own. It is not too salty and contains plenty of umami flavor from the combination of different miso used. Though the ingredients we used are simple, they make this miso soup a perfect choice for anytime of the day to pair with your favorite dishes or even eat simply with rice. We hope that you will enjoy our mixed miso soup recipe.
