Ingredients
4 cups dashi broth
3 tablespoons white miso paste
1/2 cup cubed soft or silken tofu
1 tablespoon dried wakame seaweed
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
Instructions
1. Prepare the dashi broth using either instant granules or traditional kombu and bonito flakes.
2. Soak 1 tablespoon of wakame in water for 5 minutes until rehydrated, then drain.
3. Cut the tofu into small cubes and set aside.
4. In a saucepan, bring the dashi to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
5. Add the tofu and wakame, and let them warm through for 2–3 minutes.
6. Turn off the heat and dissolve the miso paste in a ladle of hot broth, then stir it into the soup.
7. Sprinkle with sliced green onions just before serving.
8. Serve warm and enjoy immediately for the best flavor.
Notes
Never boil the miso after adding it to preserve flavor and probiotics.
A small amount of wakame expands a lot—use sparingly.
Add extras like mushrooms or noodles to make it heartier without losing the authentic taste.
