Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Dashi granules
- 2 tablespoons Miso paste
- 200 grams Silken tofu
- 2 tablespoons Wakame seaweed
- 2 stalks Green onions (scallions)
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
Instructions
Start by soaking the wakame seaweed in a small bowl of water for about 5 minutes to rehydrate it. Once soft, drain the water and set the wakame aside.
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add 1 teaspoon of dashi granules to the water and stir until fully dissolved.
Dice the silken tofu into small cubes, approximately half-inch in size, and add them to the simmering dashi broth.
Add the rehydrated wakame and 1 cup of fresh spinach leaves to the broth and continue to simmer for another 3 minutes.
In a separate small bowl, add 2 tablespoons of miso paste. Ladle a small amount of hot broth into the bowl with the miso to dissolve it, stirring the mixture until smooth. This helps prevent clumps in the soup.
Remove the soup from heat and stir in the dissolved miso. Avoid boiling the soup once miso is added, as this can diminish its flavor and nutritional properties.
Finely slice the green onions (scallions) and sprinkle them over the soup before serving.
Serve the soup hot in individual bowls, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
