How to use miso
Written by: Amanda

When using miso, you should boil the soup without the miso first.  Once you have done this, remove some of the stock (I usually use a cup or so) and dissolve the miso into it.  Be careful not to bring the soup to a boil once you have put in the miso.  

Also, miso soup tastes even better if you use dashi stock (can be found at most Asian markets) instead of plain water.
