- Put a sheet of kombu, the corn cob, and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once mixture is boiling, remove the kombu. Cook another five minutes and remove the cob.
- Note: bonito flakes are not necessary in this recipe because the corncob makes a rich broth, but for extra flavor, you can add 1/4 cup of bonito flakes with the corncob and strain them out).
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the corn kernels and cook for about one minute more.
- Add okra and turn off the heat immediately. Add miso paste, stirring well until it is dissolved.
- Serve hot in individual bowls, garnished with green onion.
