I started drinking a bowl of miso soup with every meal, western

Yeah, it's good stuff. And the other nice thing about miso soup is that it's easy as fuck to make.
Even doing it the 100% from-scratch method is very fast compared to most soups.

But you still gotta DO it. I don't want to add another dirty pot to every single meal just for a cup of miso water. OP do you make a bunch ahead of time or something?

>>9380564
I make a batch and keep it in thermos.

>>9380564
>But you still gotta DO it.
Yeah, and? This is a cooking board. We cook here. And making miso soup, even from scratch, is about as easy as it gets. It's on the same effort level as making a grilled cheese sandwich.

>>another dirty pot
Doesn't bother me at all. I just chuck it in the dishwasher with the rest of my dirty cookware. And if you're being ultra lazy you can simply make it directly in your soup bowl/cup by using instant dashi.

What sort of off-brand shit are you using? I've never encountered any scum making miso soup either from scratch or with pic related.

If you have scum you're doing something very wrong. Describe your procedure.

Oh, and if you're extra-super-lazy you can even buy miso that already has the bonito flavor added!

>>9380603
I use pic related.
I boil water and put in instant dashi.

>can't skim the scum
You can skim in a cup the same way you'd skim in a pot, anon.

But >>9380603 certainly has a point. WTF are you doing that there is scum in your miso soup?

>>9380604
Then how are you getting any scum at all? That stuff never creates scum when I use it.

Are you perhaps boiling the soup too hard after you add the miso, tofu, etc? You don't actually need to boil miso soup. A gentle simmer is all you need, if even that, really. Hot is plenty good enough. No need to actually boil.

>>9380582
you can add such stuff

>>9380620
No, I make the dashi first, then skim, then add the rest. Maybe the water is too hot?

>>9380675
Whenever I put that stuff in hot/boiling water it never creates anything to skim. It dissolves and leaves no trace behind. Maybe a water quality issue? I heard that excessively "hard" water can create problems with foaming/scum.

>>9380694
probably water quality. I have to filter my tap water for tea and drinking, too.

Miso soup has become my easy, everyday go-to soup, especially if I'm feeling like ass. Easy, cheap, healthy, delicious. If I'm being lazy, I make it basic (dashi, miso, cubed tofu, wakame). If I'm not being a lazy ass, I'll add other stuff like mushrooms, scallions, tiny bokchoy leaves or other cabbage, etc.
