Enjoy this Japanese-inspired soup tonight! Simple to prepare and ready in just 20 minutes, the salty umami of the miso is a great complement to the delicate and rich sweetness of the fresh scallops. The exotic flavors of ginger and and sesame oil infuse the dish with delicious aroma that is super warming to the senses. If you use fresh ginger frequently, try keeping a thumb of it in your freezer and grate it, peel and all, for any applications. If you want to make this gluten free substitute rice noodles for the soba. They are both easy to prepare a uniquely flavorful.
