What is Miso chicken soup?
Miso chicken soup, also known as Torijiru (鶏汁), is a type of Miso soup made of chicken and many other ingredients.
Although Tonjiru (Pork Miso Soup) is more popular and well known in Japan, Miso chicken soup has recently gained popularity, while others now consider it better than pork soup!
It should be noted that there is another regional dish called Torijiru in Oita, but it differs from the chicken Miso soup that we are talking about here.
Ideas of components and replacement ideas
- Try the bone chicken with the skin: Skin-on is necessary for this recipe, even if you decide to use chicken breasts instead.
- Garlic and ginger: We turn soft to add the fragrance and a large depth of flavor.
- Vegetables: In this recipe, the carrot, GoBo (Borduk root), Daikon, Japanese Kurds (Naganegi), yellow onions, and enoki mushrooms. I will suggest vegetable alternatives later.
- sesame oil: Use roasted sesame oil.
- Dashi broth: This is crucial to the flavor of the base of the dish. You can choose from AWASE Dashi, Vegan Dashi or Dashi packages for rest.
- in order to: If not available, white wine or dry Sherry are appropriate alternatives.
- Awsese MSISA (yellow Mitsa): This is the main spices in this dish. While I can be used, I highly recommend AWASE MISO with its balanced flavor.
- I am sauce: For brand recommendations, look at a comprehensive soy sauce guide.
If you cannot get some of the above vegetables, here are some alternatives that you can use instead or in addition:
- Other types of mushrooms (Shiitake, Shimeji, etc.)
- Konnyaku
- Taro
- potato
- Napa cabbage
Preparing vegetables
Let’s do some preparatory work before we get to the fun part of the cooking.
Torijiru uses a variety of vegetables, so cutting them first will make things smooth. Here is how you prepared each one:
- Borduk root and Japanese Krown: Wash the leeks and rub the Burdock root to clean any dirt. Cut the Qatari slices.
- Islands: Cut it about 1 cm, then cut these slices into half of the monner.
- Disconstone: Go thicker here, about 2 cm, as well as cut into half of the Monde or circles.
- Onions: Thin slices.
- Garlic and ginger: This port accurately. They will add a beautiful smell to the dish.
- Enoki mushroom: Just remove the roots and lower legs.

Prepare chicken
Now, let’s deal with chicken.
If you use chicken thigh, the easiest way to exfoliate the skin is by hand; There is no required knife. For meat, cut it into a bite size.

Chicken
step
Cook chicken meat
In the same bowl with rich chicken fat, cook chicken meat until it is closed on all sides.
Next, add garlic, ginger, onions and salt. Continue frying until the onions become soft. This step really begins to build flavors.
step
Add vegetables
Once the onions become smooth, add root vegetables (carrots, radish, and the Bordock root) and stir for a few minutes.
Next, add enoki mushrooms, leeks, dashi, and sake. Heat it over medium heat until it is about to boil, then reduce the heat to low heat.
Cover the bowl and let it cook until Daikon and the islands are soft as you want. In my experience, this takes about 10 minutes.
At this stage, you should already be able to see the richness of this soup- which is a little cloudy!
Once the carrots and radish are slightly diluted, turn off the heat. Break in the Missu paste and soy sauce, which collects the whole dish together.
The correct way to add Miso paste
The dropping of the Maysu paste directly will lead to an integrated soup with an uneven flavor. For the best results, put the Missu on a spoon or a scoop, broth in the broth, and whisk it before launching it in the soup. If you do not have these tools, whisk the Missu paste and a small amount of broth in a small bowl to dilute it before pouring it in the bowl.
For service, the Torijiru script in the vessels.
Rot it with chopped green onions with precision and crunchy chicken skin that we have checked earlier. It is an ideal crunchy touch for this harsh soup.
How to store and heat
Maysu sensitive and thickens easily, which is why Misso’s soup does not have a long period of validity and it is not recommended to heat. If you have food residue, it should be completely cooled before putting it in the refrigerator and consuming it within 1-2 days.
Re -heating tends to deteriorate the flavor and nutrients in Meso, so heating on the stove is the best way to avoid boiling or excessive feeding (although some flavor loss is still expected).
If you expect food residue, I recommend storing soup without adding MISO. Without Miso, this soup will last about 3 days. You can add fresh Missu after heating to a new flavor.
This recipe is not suitable for freezing.
Instructions
Should I use cooking or drinking?
For cooking it can be confusing. Sudachi uses a pure reformer without adding salt (drinking a reformer) for all dishes. Set the salt content if the use of cooking. For more information, see the SAKE 101 post by a professional chef with more than 30 years experience.
What kind of Miso paste can I use?
For this recipe, I used the Awas Missu Paste (Yellow Misso in English). However, you can also use other types of MISO, including white MISO, Red Miso or a mixture of white and red MISO. Keep in mind that the salt level may vary depending on the type you use. Therefore, I recommend adding it in small batches and taste each time to make sure it is not very salty or very weak.
Can I use other parts of the chicken?
Yes, you can make this with other parts of the chicken, but which one you choose, be sure to choose the chicken on the skin. This is because chicken skin is a decisive element in this recipe.
