Miso Soup with Lots of Beans and Full of Ingredients

Miso Soup with Lots of Beans and Full of IngredientsSep 12, 2023

When edamame grows, it becomes into soybean. However, the fruit becomes stiff and less tasty if harvested too late. Edamame farmers harvest at the perfect time (morning and evening when the temperature is cooler) and keep them fresh. Edamame is also a suitable ingredient for miso soup, as the pods seep out the bean's unique “dashi” (broth soup) and “umami” flavor. You can also add a bit of chili pepper, pepper, or sansho pepper to taste and enjoy a variety of miso soups! more
