Fresh Scallop Miso Soup

I learned about this fresh scallop miso soup when I moved to Yamagata Prefecture. They release a delicious dashi broth that doesn't compare to other shellfish! They taste the best around April-May? So we look forward to this miso soup every year.
If you buy fresh scallops, please try this!
Do not cook on high heat once the shells are in the water! Also, skim the scum from the pot!
You can freeze the scallops with the shells after washing. Then, you can use the frozen scallops as is in Step 2, with no need to thaw them.
I recommend stocking cleaned scallops in the freezer they're in season to enjoy them year round. Recipe by uzu1118

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Put the scallops into a large bowl and rinse them well. The surfaces of the shells are surprisingly dirty, so keep rinsing until the water no longer becomes cloudy.
- 2
When they are really dirty, I usually use a brush to scrub the shells when washing. Be careful not to cut your hands on the shells.
- 3
Put the scallops and the water into a pot and slowly heat on medium-low so that the flavor from the scallops seems out. Once the pot is boiling, if any scum rises to the surface, skim it off. Cook until the shells open up and then turn off the heat.
- 4
Dissolve in the dashi stock granules and the miso. Serve in bowls and optionally garnish with minced leek. Done!!

Miso Soup with Mushrooms Miso Soup with Mushrooms
When I used to live in the U.S. and didn't have access to Japanese mushrooms like shimeji and shiitake, I used mushrooms instead in miso soup. It's actually pretty tasty! Since then it's become one of my favorite dishes to make.Place the mushrooms in cold water (don't start boiling them with hot water) and simmer them very gently to extract their umami. If you are in a hurry, add a little dashi stock. Don't add too much miso since it will overwhelm the flavor of the mushrooms. Use plenty of mushrooms for the best result. For 3 servings.

Anything that was alive at some point has something to release.If you'd like, I recommend using kombu as your dashi stock.
