Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 2 teaspoons Dashi granules
- 3 tablespoons Miso paste
- 1 cup Soft tofu
- 2 teaspoons Dried wakame seaweed
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
Instructions
1. In a medium-sized pot, bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
2. Add the dashi granules to the boiling water and stir until fully dissolved, then reduce the heat to low.
3. In a small bowl, mix the miso paste with a few tablespoons of the hot dashi broth to create a smooth slurry. This prevents clumping.
4. Gradually stir the miso slurry back into the pot, ensuring it dissolves completely. Do not let the soup boil after adding the miso, as this alters the flavor.
5. Add the soft tofu, cutting it into small cubes (approximately 1/2-inch in size), and gently stir to distribute evenly.
6. Sprinkle the dried wakame seaweed into the pot and let it rehydrate for 1-2 minutes.
7. Turn off the heat and garnish the soup with sliced green onions before serving.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, comforting miso soup!
