Required Kitchen Tools

When preparing Cabbage Miso Soup, having the right tools makes the process smooth and efficient. Here’s what I always keep on hand:
  1. Medium Saucepan or Soup Pot – For simmering the broth and vegetables.
  2. Sharp Chef’s Knife – To thinly slice cabbage, garlic, and carrots.
  3. Cutting Board – A sturdy surface to prep all the fresh ingredients.
  4. Ladle – Perfect for serving steaming bowls of soup.
Small Bowl & Whisk/Chopsticks – To dissolve miso paste before adding it to the soup.
