Today’s miso soup is made with Napa Cabbage, Onion, and Tenkasu Tempura Bits. Thinly sliced nappa cabbage and onion are cooked till soft in the dashi broth and seasoned with the miso paste. Simple vegetable miso soup tastes good as is, but with home-made Tenkasu tempura bits, it becomes hearty and even more delicious. Crunchy tempura bits soak up the tasty broth and adds nice texture.

Tenkasu can be purchased in a bag at Japanese supermarkets, but making it at home is quite easy. You can collect bits of Tempura crust floated in the oil when making Tempura, or you can follow our simple Tenkasu recipe.
