Miso Soup 🍜 but where’s the Umami?
Hi there! 👋 I was hoping to get some help and guidance. I have food aversion issues that make it difficult for me to cook and eat meals. Sometimes I stick with the same simple dish, because it’s satisfying without feeling too overstimulating or nauseating. Lately, it’s been miso soup.
I live in America, so I may not have access to local products. However, I did pick up both of the items pictured, on Amazon. It’s been really helpful to get me to eat. The miso powder makes a pretty decent soup, but I keep encountering a bit of an issue. The miso soup has no umami. My favorite part of Asian food is the umami. I’m obsessed, but the soup, it had none.
Am I missing something? Should I be adding seasoned rice vinegar? Did I buy the wrong miso powder? Is there anything I can do to make my miso soup feel a bit more authentic, while keeping it simple?
Thanks for your help, and the great food! ☺️
