Lemongrass Miso Broth
Ingredients:
- 8 cups water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 5 lemongrass stalks, tender insides chopped OR about 10 teaspoons storebought lemongrass paste
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 5 medium shallots, peeled and sliced
- 5 medium garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
- 3 slices fresh ginger
- 2 yellow tomatoes, cut into chunks
- 2-4 tablespoons miso paste, or to taste
Instructions:
- Bring the water to a boil in a large pot. While the water is heating, prep the rest of the ingredients; add the olive oil, lemongrass, coriander, shallots, garlic, ginger, and tomatoes as they're ready.
- Simmer for twenty minutes or so, or until the broth is to your liking. The longer you leave it to simmer, the stronger it will be.
- Strain the broth into a large bowl, pressing on the solids to collect as much liquid as possible.
- Add a splash of the broth to the miso and stir until the miso thins. Add the miso mixture to the broth and stir well.
Serving suggestions: over tofu cubes, over udon noodles with a poached egg, as broth for dumplings, or whatever your preference.
