Niratama misoshiru / miso soup with garlic chives and egg

A quick and tasty miso soup with the distinctive flavor of nira and the soft taste of egg.




<Ingredients>


300 cc dashi
1 tbsp miso
10-15 leaves nira garlic chives
1 egg


<Directions>
1.

In a small pot, heat dashi.

2.

Meanwhile, cut nira into 2-3 cm, and lightly beat egg.
Add nira to egg, and mix.

3.

When dashi boils, add miso (loosened in advance with a small amount of dashi from the pot).

4.

Add nira with egg to miso soup. 
Turn off heat immediately so soup does not boil again.

Serve immediately.

<Notes>
  • Nira and egg cook quickly, and mixing beforehand prevents both ingredients from overcooking; however, mixing is optional.
  • Nira discolors when kept in hot dashi for a long time. If not serving immediately, first add egg only, and when ready to eat, heat up the soup and then add nira.
