Step One: Prepare the product and utensil.

You need

• instant miso soup product which contains two packets.
• A spoon or hashi (chopsticks).
• Some Hot Water

Step Two: Open the packets.

The first step is to open the packets of instant miso soup mix. These can be found at most Asian grocery stores. Once you have opened the packets, empty the contents into a bowl.

Make sure to use heat resistant bowl. You are going to add boiling water in. Don’t use a thin fragile grass cup.

typically one serving Instant miso soups comes with two packets. One contains dried ingredients such as tofu, green onions, seaweed etc. The 2nd packet only contains miso paste dashi. This miso paste dashi is not only miso paste but has dashi broth of umami flavor. It is not just simple miso-paste. If you have particular dietary preferences such as vegetarian, read the package or the label, it explains if dashi contains fish or not. Traditionally we don’t use any meat for dashi so if there are any dashi in it, it is fish or vegetarian friendly dashi such as mushroom and etc.

Open both packets and place them in a cup. Traditionally, Japanese people use wooden cups, but you can use ceramic or any type of cup. But you might want to use a small cup or soup bowl, not a thin wide bowl. You can use a coffee mug as well.

If you have freeze-dried instant miso soup, the package contains only one block which miso paste and dried ingredients combined.. Just place the block in the cup.

Step Three: Add boiling water.

Keep stirring until the miso paste is fully resolved and integrated in hot water.

Next, you will need to add boiling water to the bowl of instant miso soup mix.

Step Four: Enjoy

Now enjoy your miso soup. But be careful! The soup might be very hot!

Pro Tip

Just enough hot water to allow the dry components to soak up the water and become hydrated should be used.

After adding hot water and mix it, wait 20-30 seconds to cool down the soup. The soup cools down a bit, and it becomes much easier to drink. And the time allows dry ingredients to be fully hydrated.
