Today’s miso soup features imitation crab. While imitation crab may not sound like a high-quality ingredient, it has a lot of umami flavor that enhances the base of the miso soup. Imitation crab, or Kanikama in Japanese, is made from fish paste (primarily pollock) that resembles crab meat. It contains no fat and is high in protein, making it an ideal ingredient for those on a diet. Additionally, it’s rich in calcium, which is an added bonus. Combined with cabbage and eggs, this makes for a delicious and filling miso soup suitable for any meal of the day. Hope you give it a try!
