Miso Soup with Daikon (daikon to oage no misoshiru)

Miso soup is called “misoshiru” in Japanese. It is a traditional Japanese soup in which we use dashi for the base, then mix with miso paste. Oage (aburaage) is a thin piece of deep fried tofu and goes very well with miso soup. We also make sushi, stir fry, udon and more.
