Miso Chicken Broth Chowder

This is based on a recipe from a Japanese cookbook. I have changed it a bit over the years. The original recipe called for dashi (a Japanese fish broth made from dried bonito flakes and konbo sea weed).I don't care for the taste because it is too fishy for me. Read more I had something similar to this when I was in Japan. There is a little soup kitchen near the Shinagawa train station which is near the hotel we stayed in. They are a Fukien Chinese soup kitchen, so I tried to make it similar to that. So this is more of a Chinese soup with Japanese touches. They also had great gyoza. Substitute the vegetables with whatever you like, but I really think bamboo shoots and spring onions help give a nice flavor to the broth For some more info on miso: .http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/Articles/Ethnic-Unique-Foods-Ingredients-645/miso.aspx See less
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups chicken broth shopping list
- 1 Tbsp peanut oil shopping list
- 1 Tbsp sake shopping list
- 1Tbsp Japanese soy sauce (Kikkoman's) shopping list
- 1.5 tsp sesame oil shopping list
- 1-2 cloves garlic, finely chopped shopping list
- 1/2 cup each broccoli, red bellpepper, bamboo shoots, mushrooms shopping list
- 1 large boiling potato, cut in small cubes shopping list
- 1/4 cup sliced onions (spring or brown) shopping list
- 1 chicken breast, cut into small cubes shopping list
- 1/4 cup Shiro miso (also known as white or yellow miso) shopping list
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper shopping list
How to make it
- Put the oil into a pot and heat it. Add the potato and the vegetables, except the broccoli. Cook a couple of minutes to release the flavors.
- Add the chicken broth, soy sauce and sake. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer until the vegetables are as tender as you like. Add the broccoli.
- Add the miso and the chicken and simmer 5 more minutes to cook the chicken. It is best not to boil it again once the miso is added because it can get bitter. Then add the sesame oil, garlic and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly and serve.
- I like it with a bowl of Japanese short grain rice on the side, but cooked noodles are also really good added to the soup.

I agree with you on the Dashi. It can be too strong. Great recipe. Thank you for sharing!
