Miso Soboro (Miso Minced Meat) / 味增肉末

Meat_MisoSoboro

It is now summer in Japan, the hot weather in Kyoto is killing me. However, summer is a great season to enjoy outdoor activities such as a rooftop beer garden and hanabi matsuri (fireworks festival). Hanabi matsuri in our area (Kizugawa City) will be held on 30th July this year. If you planned to visit Nara or Southern part of Kyoto around that time, perhaps you can include it in your itinerary.  There will be music, show, food stalls, and firework at the riverbank.

Well, let's talk about this recipe. It is something really easy to prepare and it can be served as topping for rice or noodles, or as filling for a sandwich. You can also add some herbs to create a different variation, such as curry powder. This recipe is featured in Y3K Recipes issue no. 71 together with Village-Style Miso Soup, and two other miso recipes published in the year 2013.
