Homemade Miso Soup Recipe

We eat Japanese food a lot, so miso soup as a side dish is a common staple during these meals, especially when we eat salmon, like our favorite miso-glazed salmon.

Miso soup when ordered in Japanese restaurant costs ₱40 or above for a small bowl. So when we realized that buying miso paste is now more accessible than years ago, it was definitely a must-have in our Japanese cuisine-loving household.

Where to find miso paste and wakame seaweed to make your homemade miso soup?

Miso paste and wakame seaweed is available in Japanese or Asian grocery stores or bigger supermarkets with international sections like SM Megamall’s, or order them online from Shopee or Lazada.
