Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Dashi granules or powder
- 3 tablespoons Miso paste (white or yellow)
- 1 bunch Enoki mushrooms
- 7 ounces Silken tofu
- 1 tablespoon Dried wakame seaweed
- 2 stalks Green onions (scallions)
Instructions
In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Add 1 tablespoon of dashi granules or powder and stir to dissolve. Lower the heat to medium-low to maintain a simmer.
Place 3 tablespoons of miso paste into a small bowl. Add a ladleful of hot dashi broth to the bowl and whisk until the miso paste dissolves completely. Set aside for now.
Trim the root end off the enoki mushrooms and separate them into smaller clusters. Rinse mushrooms gently and set aside.
Cut the silken tofu into small cubes, approximately ½ inch. Handle carefully to avoid breaking the tofu.
Add 1 tablespoon of dried wakame seaweed to the simmering pot. Allow it to rehydrate and expand for about 2 minutes.
Gently stir in the miso mixture you prepared earlier. Ensure the heat is low, as boiling miso can alter its flavor.
Add the enoki mushrooms and tofu cubes to the pot. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the mushrooms are tender but not overcooked.
Thinly slice 2 green onions (scallions) and sprinkle them over the soup for garnish right before serving.
Serve the miso soup hot in individual bowls. Enjoy!
