Ingredients
- Blanched Spring Napa Cabbage 540g
- Water 7 cups (1750ml)
- Homemade Miso Paste 3 Tbsp
- 1 small Green Onion (Scallion)
- 6 cloves Garlic
- 4 Korean Green Chilies (Cheongyang)
- 1 Shiitake Mushroom
- 1 Tbsp Dried Shrimp Powder
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Bring a pot of water to a boil with a pinch of coarse sea salt. Add the blanched spring napa cabbage and blanch it very briefly. Don’t overcook it, or it will lose its crispness.
Step 2
Immediately rinse the blanched cabbage under cold running water to stop the cooking and retain its crisp texture.
Step 3
Prepare the remaining ingredients for the miso soup. Finely chop the green onion. Mince the garlic. Slice the Korean green chilies diagonally to add a pleasant spiciness. Slice the shiitake mushroom into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
Gently squeeze out excess water from the rinsed cabbage and tear or cut it into bite-sized pieces. If the spring napa cabbage has any tender core stalks, don’t discard them! They add a subtle sweetness and are delicious when cooked in the soup.
Step 5
In a bowl, combine the prepared cabbage, minced garlic, miso paste, and dried shrimp powder. Mix well with your hands, gently massaging the ingredients. Pre-mixing the ingredients with the miso helps to infuse the flavors deeply into the cabbage.
Step 6
Transfer the mixed cabbage mixture to a pot and add 7 cups (1750ml) of water.
Step 7
Start by boiling the soup over medium-high heat. Once it comes to a boil, stir well with a spoon to ensure the miso paste is fully dissolved and no clumps remain.
Step 8
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot partially, and let it simmer gently for about 20 minutes. This slow simmering allows the flavors of the spring napa cabbage and the savory miso to meld beautifully.
Step 9
Your delicious and comforting ‘Durimun Spring Napa Cabbage Miso Soup’ is now ready! It’s a universally loved dish that makes a simple meal feel special. Enjoy this wonderfully flavorful and economical miso soup!
