Miso Mixture

Add-ins

Method

Preparing the Broth

  1. 1

    Combine Water and Dashi

    In a medium-sized pot, add 4 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of dashi. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Mixing Miso

  1. 2

    Dissolve Miso Paste

    In a small bowl, take 3 tablespoons of miso paste and add a ladleful of the hot broth from the pot. Whisk it together until smooth and fully dissolved.

Adding Ingredients

  1. 3

    Incorporate Miso Mixture

    Once the broth is boiling, reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the dissolved miso mixture. Do not let it boil again to preserve the flavor of the miso.

  2. 4

    Add Tofu

    Cut the tofu into small cubes (about 1-inch) and gently add them to the pot. Allow the soup to heat for about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Seaweed

    Add 1 tablespoon of dried wakame seaweed to the soup. Let it rehydrate and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

  4. 6

    Garnish with Green Onions

    Slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the soup just before serving.
