instructions
    1

    Begin by thinly slicing the onions to enhance their natural sweetness.

    2

    In a pot, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become soft and slightly caramelized.

    3

    Pour in the water to the pot and bring it to a gentle boil.

    4

    Once boiling, lower the heat and add the soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and miso paste. Stir well to combine, allowing the flavors to meld for about 5 minutes.

    5

    Crack the egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the simmering soup. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the egg is just set but still soft.

    6

    While the egg cooks, finely slice the green onions for garnish.

    7

    Pour the soup into bowls, sprinkle with green onions, and serve hot.
