This is a regional speciality. We usually use the shoots from a bamboo called chishimagisa for this miso soup. You might wonder about this combination, but it's really delicious!

I used 1 1/2 tablespoons of powdered bonito flake for making the dashi stock, but please use your favorite miso and dashi stock. This miso soup is better if it's on the strong side. I recommend using blended miso (awase miso) or red miso. Add the can liquid too if you like. I think it's better when you add it, but if you don't like the taste or smell of it please leave it out. For about 6 servings. Recipe by Harapekosuke

Steps

1

Cut the bamboo shoots into easy to eat pieces. Slice the onion about 5 mm thick.
2

Bring the dashi stock to a boil in a pan. Add the onion and simmer, then add the bamboo shoots a little bit later.
3

When the onion is cooked, add the canned mackerel, liquid and all. When the pan comes to a boil, lightly cut up the mackerel with your ladle (don't crush it too much). Dissolve in the miso and it's done.
4

This is the bamboo shoot, canned mackerel and onion version, but there's another variation ... bamboo shoot, chopped pork and tofu. I recommend both.
5

This is also delicious as a "cat's meal" (nekomanma), with rice added to the soup.
6

One person made a version with beaten egg. This is delicious too. Try it with egg if you like!
