I bought one whole nagaimo, and this is one of the dishes I made in an attempt to use it all up.Be careful when peeling the nagaimo, since your hands could slide off due to its sliminess. The salt content of the miso depends on the brand, so adjust its amount to your taste. I used wakame seaweed, but green onions, myoga ginger, okra, snow peas, etc. makes it delicious as well so give it a try. Recipe by Kawakamisan

Miso is a fermented soybean paste, mixed with salt and koji mold.There is a wide variety of Miso pastes in Japan. White, light brown, brown, deep brown, mild, salty, mixed with barley... This is because of the region in which they originated, related to the climate and daily life style of that area.Miso soup is a famous Japanese healthy soup, mixing Miso paste with fish broth and adding tofu or vegetables. At breakfast, lunch, dinner, buffet, restaurants, schools, home... Miso soup is served on many occasions and in many ways!Dango is a sticky rice powder ball which is mixed with water and then kneaded well.When I was a kid, my grandmother always made a special dango miso soup for me at breakfast whenever I stayed overnight. Even after I grew up, or for a short visit, she always made it for me. Dango miso soup is my favorite and reminds me of my grandmother!You can get fish broth packets, miso paste and dango powder in the US through Amazon or Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati, OH, if you are near there.#heirloom

I learned this recipe from an elderly lady in the neighbourhood. I changed the recipe by adding tofu.If you prefer a more watery soup, add a smaller amount of watered katakuri starch, or you can skip it altogether. Recipe by Ayatan

I made this easy, quick cream soup using milk, light cream, and katakuriko.The daikon radish is so good that this has become one of our family's favorite dishes.Pre-cooking the onion and daikon in the microwave shortens cooking time. We use low-fat milk and light cream at my house, and this soup turns out really good. The flavor is really mild. Recipe by mama deko

I rearranged a surinagashi soup (made with dashi and ground up ingredients) to a warm miso soup.I use strong bonito flake dashi soup and thinly flavor it with miso. If it doesn't have a strong dashi flavour, it tastes like baby food.Step 1: Once you add the potato, simmer while stirring. If you leave it, it will get thick and chunky at the bottom of the pot.

I wanted to make corn soup richer so I added kabocha squash.Adjust the thickness with milk.Do not bring to the boil. Recipe by Cookie shiasu

I wanted to soup that didn't have any meat or milk.If you bring it to a boil after the soy milk is added, it will separate, so heat just enough to warm it. Each soup stock granule packet makes 300 ml of soup. Recipe by keiO3

I simplified the recipe the fishmonger taught me when I bought hamaguri.This is my favourite taste as it is simple, using hamaguri without soup stock.If you aren't eating this straight away, take the hamaguri out of the saucepan, then reheat the soup before returning them to the pan. This will keep them puffed up. Recipe by Rapyuta hime

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 tried making hot and sour noodle soup with miso.Though I made this without any toppings this time, you could certainly add green onions, char siu meat, onion, carrots, bean sprouts, cabbage, and so on. Recipe by CoffeeCoco

A steaming hot bowl of purple yam soup with pork chops and some herbs. I make Purple Yam Soup whenever I need something to lift me up. The feeling of chewy yam together with a plate of salted cucumber pickles or caramelized pork brings back my good mood instantly!(Contributed by Chói Chang)
