Miso Soup with Fish and Soba
“Tempering” the miso with a little of the hot stock before adding it to the pan helps to keep it from turning granular in the soup. Also, be sure not to let the soup boil once the miso has been added, or the miso will develop a bitter taste. Look for miso, soba and instant dashi at Asian markets or well-stocked supermarkets.
