Tonjiru - Pork and Vegetable Miso Soup

This is a video of some cooking I did last night. It is a really nice soup, and the amount I made was enough for 3 bowls (like the one in the video) or probably 4 smaller bowls (as you might use if serving this with other dishes).


I mention in the video to leave comments about my cooking and videos. What I meant was whether you find it interesting, and what other things you would like to see in terms of Japanese cooking. If people have ideas, I am more than happy to go out with my camera and find more info!

Yes i agree with the bottom comment below. What cut of pork do you use? It is very lovely laced with fat. Also, what cut of beef is used for sukiyaki and beef shabu shabu? Anyone may input on questions. Oh, and before i forget- You should have killed the heat before adding the miso into soup. High heat changes miso's characteristic flavor. Just a suggestion for next time. Other than that, OISHIi!

I am not sure exactly what cut, but I think it could be pork belly, cut very thinly. The same sort that is used for bacon, except not cured or smoked.

I'd like to ask what cut of pork is being used...it looks like you use something similar to a belly/bacon cut? Where i live in Europe, pork is quite popular, so there's so much variety to choose from I want to be sure to purchase the right thing (so I can surprise my Japanese friends and make them very happy!)

[burnsy11]

Yes, i think you are right - pork belly. I am sure that your friends will love it.

I have a question, what kind of sake are you using? Does it have a specific type of sake? How do you know which type of sake to use? I love the video by the way...thanks!

This was just some sake I had in the apartment, but using cooking sake is fine - you will no doubt find the green plastic bottle of sake in asian supermarkets.
