Instructions to make Tonjiru (Miso Soup with Veggies and Pork):
  1. Chop all vegetables and pork into small pieces. (Since I have a small child, I cut them into a child-sized pieces, but you can cut as you wish.) Heat a pot with the sesame oil, add all the veggie and pork and fry on medium heat.
  2. Once cooked, add dashi soup (Japanese soup stock made from fish and kelp. You can also find "dashi powder" which you can make dashi easily by just adding water) and keep cooking on low heat with the lid on until the vegetables are soft, usually about 10 min.
  3. Finally add miso. Using a ladle, dissolve miso with some dashi soup. This is the good way to dissolve miso when making miso soup. Then mix in the miso to the veggies and pork and it's ready to eat! It is also good to garnish with a bit of "shichimi" - a mixture of red pepper and other spices.
