Notes

I’d like to point out that if you are NOT using Ryotei no Aji miso, you will need to adjust your soup. Follow the directions on your miso container and it will tell you exactly how many tablespoons you will need for about 6 cups of water and if you need to put dashi stock in addition to the miso.
*I’d also like to mention that you can use a variety of vegetables in this. I have had it with gobo root, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, and so on. Feel free to adjust it to how you like!
