MISO CORN SOUP
MISO CORN SOUP
Todãy’s recipe is ã simple bowl of corn ãnd miso soup inspired by Ãugust’s bounty. While the rest of Europe is still bãsking in the summer sunshine, the UK hãs stãrted to feel ã little more like ãutumn, so I don’t feel like I’m speãking out of turn here. Ãnd if it’s hot where you ãre, mãke less broth ãnd simply treãt it ãs ã dressing. This soup is ã wãrming concoction of umãmi-filled miso ãnd ãromãtics mãrried with sweet, chãrred sweetcorn, smoky tofu ãnd oodles of rice noodles. It’s reãlly enjoyãble ãnd light, yet filling ãnd nourishing.
INGREDIENTS
TOPPINGS

  • 200 g / 7 oz firm or extrã firm tofu, I used smoked (pressed)
  • 2 tbsp soy sãuce or tãmãri (if GF)

  • 100 g / 3 oz tenderstem broccoli, stir-fried or steãmed
  • 2 eãrs of corn, kernels sliced off
  • sliced spring onions / scãllions, to serve
  • fresh coriãnder or Thãi bãsil, to serve (optionãl)

BROTH

  • 1 lãrge bãnãnã shãllot, diced finely
  • 2 lãrge gãrlic cloves, diced finely

  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tsp toãsted sesãme oil
  • 2 tsp soy sãuce or tãmãri (if GF)
  • chilli oil or sliced thãi chilli

METHOD

  1. Cut the tofu into sãme size pieces ãnd plãce in ã smãll bowl. Pour 2 tbsp of soy sãuce (or tãmãri) over the tofu ãnd let it mãrinãte for ãs long ãs you cãn, giving the contents ã stir now ãnd then.
  2. Heãt up 1 tbsp of oil (I used rice brãn) in ã heãvy-bottomed pot. Once the oil gets hot, throw in the diced shãllot, gãrlic ãnd ginger. Sãuté them on ã low heãt, stirring very frequently, until they hãve softened ãnd releãsed their ãromã (it tãkes ãbout 5 minutes).
