Seafood Miso Noodle Soup

A couple of weeks ago, we had a massive Temaki sushi party with friends. If you’ve never been to one, I highly suggest making friends with the fine folks at I Love Blue Sea or head over to Casson Trenor’s site, Sustainable Sushi and host a sushi party of your own.
Since I’m a type of person who always over-cooks for dinner parties (oh, not overcook as in sawdust meat, but over-cooks as in I prepare enough food to feed triple the amount of guests I’m expecting), there was plenty of seafood leftover for the weekend to make Seafood Miso Noodle Soup.

Like nearly all of my recipes, this meal is fast ‘n flexible, especially when you use rice noodles, which take a quick soak and 30 second boil. Dried rice noodles are soaked in cool or warm water for a few minutes to soften and rehydrate a bit. Then a swirl in your boiling broth and it’s done.

Japanese miso flavors the broth – you can use regular miso paste (any kind, though I recommend Shiro Miso, which is white miso, the most mild of all) or check out my client, Miso & Easy, which is prepared miso paste already mixed with dashi and conveniently packaged in a squeeze bottle. Just add water.

The rest of the ingredients are really up to you – assorted seafood, any vegetable and any fresh mushrooms that you like. I’ve used Japanese mushrooms (Brown Beech Mushroom), but regular sliced white mushrooms will work just as well.

Making that this week! Ive had white miso in my fridge forever. I wonder if it goes bad?
I love miso soup… this sounds amazing!
This would be a great way to use up 2 ingredients I always seem to have on hand- fish stock and miso.
I love your recipes. Would it be possible to publish the nutrition information with the recipes? Thanks.
Yum! This would make my tummy smile
“Happy Cooking”
MISO HUNGRY FOR THIS SOUP.
…I’m so, so sorry.
So simple, so easy, so healthy… pure goodness!
Thank you for the recipe. I have some miso paste, that would be a good use for it.
mmm that looks amazing!
I need a bowl of this RIGHT NOW!
That looks amazing! And i am sure it tastes just as good-going to surprise my family and make this.
THis is the perfect soup for the weather around here.. It’s allergy season and what could be more comforting than miso soup with greens!!
I just got a box of miso!
You are reading my mind!
I have been craving this so while on your site entering a contest I saw this recipe !! Thanks so much. Dinner tonight !!
LOL
Unforgettable recipe. Simple, tasty noodles with miso. Cant wait.
Simple, easy, tasty and satisfying, great soup.
I would love to make this soup. Unfortunately, when I made the miso soup it ended up tasting very fishy, unlike the soup I normally get in restaurants. The Dashi came in what looked like a large tea bag and I followed the simple directions. My miso was first rate stuff…but my soup was just passable.
I really do not want to drive 60 miles to buy Miso & Easy. Do they ship? So far I can’t seem to find that on the website.
Suggestions?
