Directions

1

Prepare the Dashi Stock

In a pot, bring the dashi stock to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

2

Add Wakame Seaweed

Add the dried wakame seaweed to the pot and let it rehydrate for about 5 minutes.

Add Tofu

Cut the tofu into small cubes and gently add it to the pot. Let it heat through for about 2-3 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix the miso paste with a ladle of the hot dashi stock until smooth. Gradually add this mixture back into the pot, stirring gently.
