Instructions
In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of dashi granules until they have completely dissolved.

In a small bowl, add 3 tablespoons of white miso paste. Ladle 1 cup of the hot dashi broth into the bowl with the miso. Whisk until the miso is completely dissolved and smooth.
