Salmon Miso Soup
Week 3
Topic Rice/Noodle
I have a sick hubby at the moment, Mr GG has tonsillitis. He is bedridden, tired and lethargic, worst of all though, is that he is struggling to swallow. When I’m unwell I just want fluids, tea, water, green tea and soup. So I decided to make hubby a bowl of my “special” Miso soup.
My Miso Soup is special because I add a few more ingredients. I use sashimi grade salmon and noodles to give the soup a little more body so it may becomes a meal in itself.
Neither the salmon nor the tofu is cooked prior to serving. The hot broth is merely poured over these ingredients. This allows the silken tofu to keep its perfect diced shape and the salmon to softly poach in the liquid. The salmon will have the same “melt in your mouth” consistency as the tofu.
It is a very satisfying soup, and is quick and easy to make. The only consideration is to have all the ingredients prepped and ready to use prior to commencing.
Ingredients:
220gm Sashimi Grade Salmon (sliced thinly)
300gm silken Tofu (cubed)
3 shallots (sliced finely)
100gm noodles
1 litre water (pre boiled in jug)
2 Tbs White Miso Paste
Method:
Place a saucepan on the stove over a medium heat. Add the pre boiled water and shallots. Boil for 1 minute.
Divide the salmon and tofu amongst serving bowls.
Remove ½ cup of water from the saucepan and add the Miso paste. Stir until the paste has dissolved, reserve for later.
Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook until just soft. Turn off the heat and stir through the dissolved miso paste until combined.
Pour the broth into the serving bowl, over the salmon and tofu. Ensure the noodles are divided evenly amongst the bowls. Give the bowls a very light stir to allow some tofu and salmon to surface. Serve.
This recipe will serve two people as a main or four people as an entree.

This looks really lovely, I'm not usually a fan of miso but I love salmon and tofu.

Oh NO dont look now J but someone just put a whole heap on Fish in you beautiful soup... OH NOSE!!!
Thanks everyone, hubby is on the mend. The miso soup went down a treat although we have needed the air conditioning on freezing here or soup would have been out of the question!
What a beautiful simple dish. I will be calling you next time I am feeling poorly! Please make sure to use the nice dishes with me too ;)

It was a delicious remedy, hubby is starting to feel alot better. Conor I would happily break out the "good dishes" for you... even though I didn't get to meet "Masterchef beer boy" with you ;)
Thanks for the well wishes everyone :)
That looks like a great dish. Salmon and miso are a wonderful partners.
I find miso soup great when I am feeling a bit poorly. A friend put me onto this a few years ago, I didn't believe him at first but am a convert now.
That looks so good and I love your photos!

Thanks for the info on Rasa Malaysia's book. I used to visit her website for recipes but some time ago, igot a new PC and forgot to bookmark it!
You're too modest Julie! You did a great job with the cake! :D
Yellow strawberries and cream is just perfect for mum as a reward for putting up with two kids who were a pain in the bum.
I would have loved to have seen those martini glasses! Hope Miss A had a lovely time celebrating turning 5 :D
It shouldn't. It should go to me as whilst trying to make sure my mum, step-mum, MIL, Step-MIL, 3 x Grandmas are spoilt on Mother's Day, I always seem to get forgotten!
My poor old mum is battling to care for my step dad who has advanced Parkinsons. My real dad who has had a stroke still expects her to be there for him, my bro is going bankrupt and she lives two states away from her only gransdon. Her life has little joy- JUst wish for one thing nice to happen to her. We all love our mums, good luck to you all!
Perfect place to relax and forget about all the troubles we have in the city and just unwind ~ can't wait to go to somewhere like this hehe
