Vegan Miso Soup Replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth, and the shrimp with tofu. Reduce the soy sauce to 2 tablespoons, and omit the chili oil.
Fried Rice: Fried rice is a great accompaniment to miso soup with shrimp. It's a delicious and easy dish to make that pairs perfectly with the savory flavors of the soup. The combination of the two dishes makes for a filling and satisfying meal.
Gyoza: Gyoza is a classic Japanese dumpling that is perfect for pairing with miso soup and fried rice. It's a savory and filling dish that adds a nice variety to the meal. Gyoza can be pan-fried or boiled, and is usually served with a dipping sauce. It's a great way to add a bit of crunch to the meal and round out the flavors.
