00:00If you're looking for a filling and herty variation of miso soup that you can eat as
00:04a meal on its own, this salmon and vegetable miso soup is for you.
00:08You can also find this recipe on my website along with 400 Japanese recipes.
00:12Just google salmon miso soup space so that you'd find the written recipe.
00:16First up I have two potatoes that I've cut into by side chunks.
00:20Place them in a bowl of cold water for about 5 minutes to help get rid of the excess starch
00:25that can make our soup cloudy.
00:30While our potatoes are soaking, let's get a small pot of water heating up and remove
00:35the strings of 10 snow peas.
00:38I like to use these as a garnish so I'll blanch them separately but if you're in harry you
00:42can totally skip the blanching and just toss the raw snow peas right into the dashi with
00:47everything else later.
00:48I love the texture of blanched snow peas but honestly both ways work great.
00:52Once the water is bubbling away, drop in those snow peas for just about a minute.
01:02Drain them and set them aside.
01:04Once they're cool enough to handle, you can cut them in half to use as a garnish later.
01:11Ok, it's been about 5 minutes and I've drained my potatoes.
01:14I'm now placing them in a microwave safe bowl with half carrot, also roughly chopped.
01:21Add a tablespoon of water, cover them with plastic wrap and microwave for about 3 minutes
01:26on 600 watts to partially cook them.
01:29Once they're done, pour 500ml of dashi into a saucepan and add your par-cooked carrots
01:35and potatoes.
01:37I'm also adding 100g of shimeji mushrooms.
01:40That's the cool thing about this soup, it's super flexible so feel free to mix it up with
01:45whatever vegetables you love.
01:47Let the mixture come to a boil over medium-high heat and cook the vegetables in the dashi until
01:52they're just how you like them.
01:54Speaking of dashi, if you've got time and ingredients, making your own is absolutely worth it but let
02:00me tell you, those high-quality teabag style dashi packets are a total game-changer when
02:05you're short on time.
02:07While our broth is doing its thing, let's get some oil heating in a frying pan over medium
02:13heat.
02:14Pat your salmon fillets dry with kitchen paper and sprinkle both sides with a bit of salt,
02:19then get them in a pan until they're beautifully browned.
02:22We're talking about 3 minutes per side.
02:24I usually go for 2 medium fillets for 4 servings.
02:30While dropping salmon into me soup isn't exactly traditional in Japan, I discovered it's
02:35actually an awesome combo that just works.
02:37Trust me on this one, sometimes breaking with tradition leads to something surprisingly delicious.
02:46Once the salmon's done, take it off the heat.
02:49If you can time this to finish with the soup, you're golden.
02:52When those vegetables are perfect, turn off the heat and it's time for the miso magic.
02:57I prefer awase miso for this recipe, you might see it labelled as yellow miso in English.
03:03I'm using 2 tablespoons for 4 portions, but you might need to adjust the amount depending
03:08on how salty your miso is.
03:10Tasting as you go is your best bet.
03:12Here's a trick, don't just dump the miso straight in, instead grab a mesh spoon or ladle, put
03:18the miso in there, dip it in the broth and whisk it up.
03:23No fancy tools, no worries.
03:25Just whisk the miso with a little broth in a small bowl first and then pour it in.
03:30All of these methods prevent lumps of miso swimming around in your soup.
03:35By the way, if you're getting into the miso soup game, I've got a whole collection of recipes
03:40waiting for you on my website.
03:42Head over to my roundup post and find your next favourite.
03:46Finally, divide that beautiful soup between your bowls.
03:49Just nestle in those perfectly seasoned salmon fillets and those bright green snow peas.
03:55Top each bowl with a little bit of butter and a hit of fresh cracked pepper.
04:03And that's it, a comforting salmon miso soup that ticks all the boxes.
