Yu Choy Sum Miso Soup

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

There’s a certain comfort and stability in simplicity. When I come across new-to-me veggies like Yu Choy Sum, I employ simple cooking methods that allow me to fully experience their taste and texture. Considering the drop in temperature and blustery winds blowing in, I went with a simple miso-based soup to showcase this lovely, leafy green brassica. The steam from the soup gently wilts the greens so you can benefit from maximum flavor and nutrients. A grilled cheese would make the perfect companion to this soup.

  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1–2 tbsp miso paste

Instructions

  1. Add the vegetable broth, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes to a pot set over medium heat.
  2. Bring the broth to a simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow it to heat through and the aromatics to infuse the broth.
  3. Whisk in the miso paste, then remove the broth from the heat.
  4. Add the yu choy sum to the pot then cover it with a lid. Allow the heat to steam the yu choy sum for 2-3 minutes, then serve the soup immediately.
