Today’s miso soup features Shabu Shabu pork and leafy green lettuce. Shabu Shabu pork is paper-thin pork loin (or even pork belly), cooked by swishing it in the miso soup. Because the pork is very thin, it cooks through quickly. Rich umami flavor from the pork enriches the soup, giving it a wonderful taste. Lettuce adds a nice crunchy texture to the dish, so try not to cook it too long. Although this is another super easy miso soup, you still get a hearty and delicious result that pairs well with any meal or stands strong on its own with steamed rice. Hope you give it a try!
