Just made this dish, but in the UK I couldn't get dashi stock so had to improvise from a recipe, and the miso paste was more like miso juice so my version was lacking some flavours I think. If I made this again, I'd definitely top up on chilli, salt, miso and soy sauce. Still enjoyed it though, will no doubt try again soon.
