Miso Shiru



A lunch I had during the week, from an Okinawan shokudo close to my base. Have lot of Okinawan-style bentos ready for lunch crowd in front of place. Folks drive up, double park, get out, buy a bento, get back in car & drive off. But for miso shiru gotta go inside & order. I gotta learn to take pictures of outside of these places!

Very good size bowl miso soup w/ tofu, veggies (looked like choi sum), daikon, a few carrots & pieces of pork. Interesting thing is that the daikon, carrots & greens are cut thin or small, but the tofu is in big chunks. Notice that a lot in Okinawan cooking. Comes w/ rice, piece each of luncheonmeat & takuan. Was hard to finish. Very oishii on cold day! Only ¥400 - real good deal!

I notice Okinawans like their soup, and they like rice served on the side with it.

I'd like to learn how to make this Miso Shiru. Sounds and looks oishii!

pomai - I think they have the basic soup ready, made from the pork pieces, choi sum and daikon, and then add the miso and tofu when you order it.
