Miso Soup Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Dashi Stock
In a saucepan, heat the dashi stock over medium heat until it simmers.
- 2
Rehydrate the Seaweed
While the stock is warming, soak the dried wakame seaweed in a bowl of water for about 10 minutes, then drain and chop into small pieces.
- 3
Prepare the Tofu
Cut the firm tofu into small cubes.
- 4
Mix Miso Paste
Once the dashi stock is simmering, take a ladleful of the hot stock and mix it with the miso paste in a small bowl until smooth. This helps to dissolve the miso.

Combine Ingredients
Add the miso mixture back into the saucepan with the dashi stock. Stir gently to combine.

Serve
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
