Japanese Onion Soup is a light, flavorful appetizer rooted in traditional Japanese cuisine, well-known for its simplicity and depth of taste. The broth is typically crafted from a base of water, soy sauce, mirin, and dashi, a classic Japanese stock made from kombu (seaweed) and bonito flakes (dried fish). Thinly sliced onions are simmered until tender and sweet, often accompanied by mushrooms and scallions for added texture and flavor. Some variations may include garlic or ginger to enhance its aromatic qualities. This soup is low in calories and fat, making it a healthy choice for those seeking a light start to a meal. The onions are rich in antioxidants and vitamins, while the dashi contributes essential minerals. However, the sodium content from soy sauce can be high, so it’s best for individuals monitoring salt intake to enjoy it in moderation or opt for reduced-sodium ingredients.
