Today’s miso soup is made with kimchi and tofu. This miso soup is inspired by Korean Kimchi soup or Kimchi Jjigae, but it is not the authentic Korean soup. It’s rather a simple Japanese miso soup with kimchi in it. It’s lighter and milder than jigae (Korean stew).
You can have the soup simply as it is, or add some thinly sliced pork, seafood, or eggs to make it heartier.
Instant dashi packet is used in this recipe, but you can certainly use any types of dashi. Please check Back to Basics: How to Make Dashi to learn more about different types of dashi.
