Dashi Broth

Soup Ingredients

Method

Prepare Dashi Broth

  1. 1

    Soak Kombu

    In a pot, combine dried kombu and water. Let it soak for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat Dashi

    After soaking, turn the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a simmer. Just before it starts to boil, remove the kombu.

  3. 3

    Add Bonito Flakes

    Add the dried bonito flakes to the pot and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Strain Broth

    Strain the broth using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth, discarding the bonito flakes. Set the clear dashi broth aside.

Prepare Soup

  1. 5

    Sauté Mushrooms

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the shiitake mushrooms and mirin. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and glazed.

  2. 6

    Prepare Tofu

    While the mushrooms are cooking, cut the firm tofu into small cubes and set aside.

  3. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    In a pot, bring the prepared dashi broth to a gentle simmer. Add the white miso paste and stir until dissolved.

  4. 8

    Add Tofu and Mushrooms

    Add the sautéed shiitake mushrooms and cubed tofu to the pot. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the tofu is heated through.

  5. 9

    Prepare Nori and Garnish

    Cut the nori sheets into strips and slice the scallions finely. Serve the soup in bowls, garnishing with nori, togarashi, and scallions.
