Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Tofu
- 2 tbsp Miso paste
- 4 cups Water
- 1 piece Kombu
- 2 tbsp Wakame seaweed
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
Instructions
Begin by draining the tofu and cutting it into small 1cm cubes. Set aside.
In a medium-sized pot, add 4 cups of water and the kombu piece. Let it soak for 10 minutes to enhance the flavor.
Slowly bring the water and kombu to a simmer over medium heat. Once it reaches a simmer, remove the kombu and discard or save for another use.
Lower the heat slightly and add the wakame seaweed to the pot, cooking gently for about 2 minutes until rehydrated and tender.
In a small bowl, mix the miso paste with a ladle of the hot broth to dissolve it. Return this miso mixture to the pot.
Add the tofu cubes and soy sauce to the pot. Stir gently and let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes to warm the tofu and combine flavors.
Slice the green onions thinly and add them to the pot along with the sesame oil. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with extra green onion if desired.
