[Spinach Curry Pork Miso Soup] **** The perfect match of miso and curry♪
<Ingredients> (Serves 2)
A) Thinly sliced pork shoulder loin 150g
Potato starch 1 tsp
Soy sauce 1 tsp
B) Ginger 1 knob
Water 400ml
C) Miso 2 tbsp
Ketchup 1 tbsp
Mirin 1/2 to 1 tbsp
Curry powder 1 to 2 tsp
Spinach 1 bunch (approx. 150g)
Cherry tomatoes: to taste
Bonito flakes 1 pack (4g)
Sesame oil: to taste
*****************************************
Rub the potato starch and soy sauce into the pork in A (Okuzono-style seasoned pork!!)
Boil 1-2 cm of water in a frying pan, add the spinach to steam-boil it, then transfer to water, cut into bite-sized pieces, and squeeze out the excess moisture.
Heat the frying pan, add sesame oil, and stir-fry the spinach. Add B, and once it boils, add the pork from step 1, separating the pieces, then mix lightly, cover, and simmer (3-5 minutes).
Add the cherry tomatoes, simmer briefly, turn off the heat, and add the miso, bonito flakes, mirin, and curry powder. Add grated ginger if desired.

Spinach Pork Miso Soup
Adding curry powder makes it like a soup curry,
making it another soup dish that goes great with rice.
You can just add curry powder,
but if you add cherry tomatoes and ketchup (or even just one of them),
the soup curry feel is even more enhanced!!
Spinach and curry really go so well together.
It's also great poured over rice as a rice-in-soup dish.
