Do I need to use two different dashi stock?
Using multiple types of dashi stock makes this dish flavorful in my opinion. That being said, it is NOT necessary to do this to make it at home, if you don’t have them in your pantry. However, if you ever get a chance to use the two different dashi stocks, I would highly recommend it :)
Is this miso soup pescatarian?
Yes, this is a pescatarian dish
Is this miso soup vegetarian?
It can be, if you only use the konbu dashi stock and replace the hondashi entirely.
Is this miso soup vegan?
This is similar to the vegetarian question above, if you replace the hondashi with konbu dashi stock, it will be vegan.
Where Can I get the Ingredients?
You can get most of the ingredients on Amazon. I have posted the links below for easy access :) You can get the vegetables from your local grocery store or nearest Asian supermarket.
