To be fair, my husband will just have 6 bowls of cereal in a row all of a sudden.

But my son… here he is with his mixing bowl.

Edit: when my son went through a miso soup phase, he would get the big mixing bowl and use a whole block of tofu. Probably straight up 2L of miso broth. For context, he is 6’2” and 19.

    Your son is producing fewer dishes. Be better, husband.

    You should introduce your son to Korean soups/stews. If he likes miso soup that much, he'll find some favorites in Korea as well. I'm especially partial to spicy doenjang jigae (a Korean miso stew--you can mostly use the ingredients recommended to add to the broth as suggestions and use whatever you like because it's all about the broth).

    This is very similar to how I make it except that I use packaged dashi and usually use shellfish and leafy greens, sometimes noodles (udon or dangmyeon glass noodles): https://www.beyondkimchee.com/doenjang-jjigae/

    It's easier than it sounds. Put dashi packet in water. Heat then remove. Add doenjang, gochujang, garlic and heat up/mix. Add solid ingredients of your choice and heat until cooked through. Add green onions (optional, I guess, but c'mon). Eat.

    So good. Thank you, Korea.

    Are the tofu blocks in America bigger or something, because 200g tofu isn't that much of a deal.

    TIL Canada has small blocks of tofu.

    I've bought tofu in the US and in Japan and the standard block is the same size in both (approximately--400g in Japan; 14oz in the US). Can vary slightly by brand and it course smaller options are available, but that's the usual size for at least those two.
