Miso Soup Ingredients

Method

Miso Soup Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dashi

    In a pot, bring 4 cups of dashi to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add Tofu and Seaweed

    Carefully add the cubed tofu and rehydrated seaweed to the pot. Simmer for about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Mix Miso Paste

    In a small bowl, mix the miso paste with a ladleful of hot dashi until smooth. This helps prevent clumps in the soup.

  4. 4

    Combine Miso with Soup

    Reduce the heat to low and stir the miso mixture back into the pot. Be careful not to boil the soup after adding miso.

  5. 5

    Season the Soup

    Taste the soup and add soy sauce and salt as needed for flavor.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot.
