I use miso in too many ways to name, but one I’ve been particularly fond of lately is in nikumiso, which is basically just pork mince (I usually use half pork and half soy mince) cooked with onions, ginger, sesame oil, miso, and a bit of sugar. It’s sweet and salty and meaty and very very good. Usually you’d have it on rice, but it’s also good with noodles, on bread, or wrapped in lettuce. I had it on roasted courgettes recently and it was delicious. It’s also good cold, with the texture of a very coarse, meaty pate.
A Traditional Japanese Breakfast in Central London – Koya Soho
A lie in and a late breakfast verging on to lunch, or brunch some might say, is probably at the top of most people’s to do list at the weekend.
My weekend treat, if I can wake up early enough is a traditional Japanese breakfast at Koya Soho. Their breakfast menu is split into udon noodles, rice dishes and small plates. Keep it simple with a Kama Tama (Udon noodle with egg and soy sauce) or Kitsune (Udon noodles with sweet tofu and spring onion) or go with one of their ‘twist on the English classic’.
