Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Asparagus and Aburage Miso Soup

[heart_this] · May 8, 2007 · 3 Comments

Asparagus and Aburage Miso Soup

This is my favorite type of miso soup. I used instant dashi rather than making it from scratch. I will have to try making the dashi from scratch in the future. Miso soup goes well in the morning for breakfast along with a bowl of nattou on rice.

Asparagus and Aburage Miso Soup

Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 25 minutes Total Time: 35 minutes Servings: 4
ingredients
  • 1 cup dashi
  • 1 piece aburage (sliced thinly)
  • 4 stalks of asparagus (cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon miso (gluten free for gluten free)
  • 1 green onion (chopped)
directions
  1. Boil dashi, aburage and asparagus in a small sauce pan until the asparagus is cooked.
  2. Remove from heat.
  3. Dissolve the miso with some of the heated dashi in a separate bowl. (We do not want to boil the miso as it will not taste as good.)
  4. Add the miso back to the soup.
  5. Pour the soup into a bowl and top with green onion.

    Hi There
    Can you be more specific about the size of the aburage as they are usually sold either frozen, or in cans, or in fresh packages in the chilled section in Asian food stores. You can also get it plain, or seasoned. How did yours come that you used?

      About 1/4 cup per serving. Enjoy!

        Thanks but I already figured it out when I went to my local Japanese store and found the package in the cold section. I also did some research on Abura-Age on Japanese cooking websites which all seem to say that it’s recommended to boil aburaage before using to remove excess oil and smell. When I first made your recipe I didn’t find the abura-age added anything to flavor straight out of the package. I loved the dashi and miso soup I made, and the asparagus was a nice added touch. Abura-age? Not so much. So I boiled it just now and will try it tonight to see if it tastes any more flavorful. Maybe it’s a required taste but I haven’t had anything yet from Japanese cuisine that I didn’t like so this would be a first if it doesn’t hit the mark with me.
