Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Dashi granules
- 3 tablespoons White miso paste
- 6 ounces Silken tofu
- 1 teaspoon Dried wakame seaweed
- 2 stalks Green onion
Instructions
In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add 1 tablespoon of dashi granules to the hot water and stir until fully dissolved to create the dashi broth.
In a small bowl, dissolve 3 tablespoons of white miso paste with a ladleful of the hot dashi broth. Use a spoon or whisk to mix until smooth.
Slowly return the dissolved miso mixture to the pot, stirring gently. Avoid letting the soup boil to preserve the flavor and probiotics in the miso.
Cut 6 ounces of silken tofu into small 1/2-inch cubes and add them to the soup.
Rinse 1 teaspoon of dried wakame seaweed under cold water to remove any excess salt, then add it to the pot. It will rehydrate and expand in the hot broth.
Thinly slice 2 stalks of green onion and add them as a garnish just before serving.
Ladle the miso soup into bowls and serve warm. Enjoy!
