Tonjiru is a kind of miso soup, simmered with pork and vegetables.It has more ingredients than that of miso soup that you may know.My mum used to cook it in a cold winter.#miso #soup #Japanese

Tonjiru or Butajiru literally means pig/pork soup, a Japanese miso-flavored soup containing pork and vegetablesIt's very common for Japanese to eat pork miso soup (tonjiru) at cold day.

Adding gochujang enhances this soup.In Step 3, boil the vegetables in advance. Recipe by Otentosama

This is a Japanese food that seasoned with miso and stewed pork and vegetables. Enjoy it with everyone!!

I improved my recipe after watching a TV programme on the secrets of cooking Tonjiru the professional way.The key is: 1- Run hot water over pork to remove the excess fat and protein that forms the scum. At the same time, it seals the flavour and aroma inside. 2- Cook vegetables from cold water. It tastes better this way than frying the vegetables in oil first. 3- Don't add Japanese soup stock (dashi) powder from the beginning. Use it sparingly to adjust the taste. 4-Add miso half at a time. The fist time miso is added, it is to help the vegetables absorb more flavour. The second time is for adjusting the taste. 5- The timing to add the pork is important. Add it at the end so it remains aromatic. Recipe by Fumia

My favorite Japanese traditional comfort food!

This is the ultimate version I arrived at after many trials.The key is to use a generous amount of sesame oil at the end. The flavour is greatly enhanced by it. Two kinds of miso are used in the recipe, but of course, just one kind is still fine. Adjust the strength and taste of miso to your liking. I recommend using a highly aromatic sesame oil.

I tried added milk to regular tonjiru, since milk goes well with miso.The ingredients are all cut into thin slices to cook quickly.The potatoes are cut in larger pieces as they tend to crumble more easily.When adding miso, turn off the heat, dilute with some liquid first to dissolve in the stock.The milk should go in after the miso has dissolved completely (just like when you're preparing cream stew).

I learned this recipe from a friend of mine who is a professional chef.Sautéing the burdock root first makes a huge difference in the end result! Be sure to completely brown the pork to seal in the flavors. That's about it! Recipe by Kojima ponsuke

I have made pork miso soup many times, and finally this recipe was created.To neutralise the porky smell, cook with minced ginger. Add the pork later to keep its tenderness and flavor.Do not boil too much once you add miso, or the nice miso aroma disappears. Adjust the amount of miso depending on its saltiness.

This was prepared upon my boyfriend's request.First, fry the pork with ginger and sesame oil. This is the umami base of this soup. I cut the other ingredients quite roughly and this characterizes this soup! Recipe by ochikeron

This is based off my mother's recipe that I now prepare for my family. It's seasoned with mentsuyu, so there's no need to use dashi stock.The tip is to add the miso soup without letting the pot boil.Taste the soup before adding the B ingredients to avoid the soup from becoming too salty.
