Miso Soup with Pork and Mushrooms

Miso Soup with Pork and Mushrooms

Today’s miso soup features pork and white button mushrooms. Use ordinary white mushrooms that can be found at any local store. While they don’t have as strong a flavor as shiitake mushrooms, not everyone always wants distinct mushroom flavors in their miso soup. White button mushrooms have just enough umami flavor for everyday soup. Pork adds more savory flavor, but you can substitute with tofu or other vegetables if you prefer a milder taste. Dashi is omitted here because there are rich flavors from the pork and mushrooms. It’s a very easy but satisfying miso soup. Hope you give it a try!

The flavor combination of pork, ginger, and cabbage resembles Pork Shogayaki, another popular Japanese dish for lunch and dinner. If you feel like having curry, but you don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen, try Pork and Cabbage Curry.

Miso Soup with Shabu Shabu Pork

Miso Soup with Shabu Shabu Pork

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!

Pork Shabu Shabu Recipe

Pork Shabu Shabu

Pork Shabu Shabu is a Japanese hot pot dish with thinly sliced pork and vegetables. Meat and vegetables are cooked in a simple Kombu broth and dipped and eaten with Ponzu Sauce. Pork Shabu Shabu is an easy but wonderful dinner when coming back home from the chilly outside.

Shabu Shabu usually indicates a Japanese hot pot dish (all hot pot dishes are called “Nabemono” or ”Nabe”) with paper-thin sliced beef. But here it is with thinly sliced pork in place of beef. Instead of packing the pot with all the ingredients like Mizutaki, leave some room in the pot so that you can easily dip your thin meat in hot broth and swirl them around to cook. It should be cooked at the dinner table using a portable gas stove and eaten as we cook, the same as other Nabemono.
