Miso soup is a kitchen staple in Japan. Everywhere you go you will see people enjoying a bowl of miso soup for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Here, you will find the basic method for making your own miso soup. You can add any green or root vegetables and Clearspring Udon noodles to make it into a pot dish as well. Create your simple homemade fresh Miso soup by following these simple steps.

We have created a deliciously versatile and umami-rich Vegan Gravy recipe using our award-winning Organic Brown Rice Miso. You can drizzle it on everything from simple mashed potatoes to a hearty Sunday roast or festive dinners.

Autumnal family favourite, the addition of miso lifts a simple ragu to another level. Serve this adaptable recipe as a pasta bake, on baked potatoes or on bread or toast.

We hope you will enjoy the Clearspring sushi range, comprised exclusively of authentic, distinctive ingredients made to traditional, natural recipes. It has never been so easy or so much fun to create sushi in your own kitchen.

Everyone loves noodles, so this is the kind of recipe I make for friends and family when they’re coming over. It looks beautiful – vibrant and green – and it tastes so fresh thanks to the mint and lime. It’s a great lunchbox option too; just take the dressing in a separate little pot and stir it together when you’re ready to eat.

This salad was a real hit in the deli, and it’s one of my go-tos as well. We used to serve it cool, but have recently discovered a new love of serving it warm, straight out the oven and couldn’t recommend that more. The dressing is partly what makes this so good and I use it a lot in other dishes – the ginger, miso, sesame and lime mix is a real winner.

For a perfect festive plant based alternative try this recipe created byWaitrose & Partners. The Miso gravy can also be used in other dishes including Sunday roast. 

This dish offers you a delicious way to add some organic greens and protein into your meal. You can replace the asparagus with any green vegetables, which you can steam or boil, if you prefer not to cook them in oil. A sprinkle of Clearspring’s Atlantic Sea Salad gives this dish an added depth of flavour.

Onigirazu is a Japanese sushi sandwich, おにぎらず. It is much easier to make than making sushi as there is no rolling involved. Onigirazu is a perfect picnic dish or to take with you for a packed lunch. You can make it for your kid's school lunches, to have at work or on the go lunches.
You can change the filling to suit you, it doesn't have to be what's in this recipe.

"We made an amazing shredded jackfruit "pulled pork" burger with a mushroom and tofu based sauce. It's such an explosion of asian flavours." All the best, Dave & Steve. Lisa Dawson from Clearspring visited The Happy Pear in Ireland earlier this year to enjoy their early morning #SwimRise and to cook with them at Pearville kitchen. There they created this Umami rich burger. We hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did making it.

There are loads of recipes for whole roasted cauliflower but this one is smoked This one has a HUGE flavour with loads of spices INSIDE. A lot of recipes have flavour on the outside but not on the inside...cauliflower is such a mild flavour it really needs it!

This umami rich dish can be enjoyed as a starter, side dish or a light dinner. It is very common in Japan to eat tofu straight out of the pack. The plain tofu goes perfectly with the miso dressing, use the extra sauce in other asian dishes.

A rich, creamy vegan spaghetti made using our silken tofu. Tofu is an amazingly versatile product edible straight from the pack, cooked or put in a blender to make a creamy white sauce. Here, we use it to make a classic warming and velvety plant-based carbonara. Keep any leftover sauce for use as a dip or in salad dressings!

I love this hot, soothing miso soup as a pick-me up at any time of the day. Simply pop the ingredients in a tea cup, top up with hot water, done! Or, bring them to work portioned up and ready to go – perfect for meal prep. You can vary this recipe indefinitely, just include something a little spicy or acidic to lift the salty miso. I like a few spoons of oats in mine to make it a little more substantial, almost like rice!

Matcha is one of my favourite foods! I love its flavour and colour as well as its subtly uplifting effect. It tastes amazing in sweets so here I've used it as I would cacao to make indulgent little brownie bites. The oats give creaminess and make the bites lighter, rice malt syrup adds a slight chewiness and miso rounds everything off beautifully. Just as good popped into your bag or lunchbox to keep you going, or with a cup of tea.

A delicious version of the Japanese classic using roasted sweet potato instead of aubergine. Perfect paired with rice or salad.

This multi purpose tofu sauce is excellent with crudites, thinned as a salad dressing or as a pasta sauce. Most people would not realise that it was dairy free unless told. It is simply delicious!

Clearspring Quick cook Organic Millet, Peas & Lentils go especially well with this popular sauce. This version is simply garnished with fresh chives, lightly flavoured with some fresh lemon juice and dressed with the delicious sauce.

This spicy and sour soup is one of Thailand’s most famous soups. It's also delicious easy to make.

This starter is so simple, yet so delicious. The the sweet miso dressing works with any seasonal vegetable too, so don't be afraid to experiment!

These Seitan Dumplings are a delicious vegan alternative to regular dumplings. The Seitan (Wheat Gluten) gives them a lovely meaty texture.
