Hi YC, if you use soy sauce, you'll need to leave out the miso, otherwise it will be too salty. This will also change the flavor of the soup significantly.

Hi Marc, I don't have katsuobushi / bonito flakes at home. Can I use katsuobushi soy sauce instead?? Thank you 🙂

Hi Tonnsg, red miso tends to be saltier and have a sharper taste than white or yellow miso, so it's not an ideal compliment to the creamy flavor of this soup. That said, it should still work.

Hi, I can only get red miso, will that be ok?

It sounds like your heat may have been up too high, try lowering it. The mixture should never be boiling. If it's still a problem it's possible your pan is too thin and there are hot spots that are causing certain parts to heat up too much. If this is the case, you could not cover it and
keep stirring it. Hope that helps for next time:-)

I was able to make this dish and it was delicious! However, the bottom of my pot is burned from soy milk, is there any tip to prevent this from happening again?!

Beautiful, I made this and it's reminiscent of Chinese savory soymilk soup in the morning which is dressed with soy sauce and sesame oil but is quite heavy in comparison. I simmered it with sliced onion and added a sliver of ginger to the bonito bag but I feel like your simple recipe on its own will also be amazing. I also used almond milk.

Thanks chef 🙂 This is delicious.

I'm not exactly sure what's the texture of turnips or if they are even available in my country. But for lack of turnips, can I use a any white radish or maybe daikon?
