Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Homemade Dashi Use Kombu Dashi for vegetarian
  • 3 Tbsp Miso paste You can use awase miso (red+ white miso)
  • 170 g Silken tofu or soft tofu Cut in Cube
  • 2 tsp Dried wakame seaweed
  • 1 green onion/scallion Finely sliced

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Dashi
  • Put 1 Tbsp. of miso in a ladle (or strainer) and blend it with dashi until it is thoroughly mixed. Continue this process until miso is all used. Usually each cup of dashi, you will need about 1 Tbsp. of miso. If you add tofu in your miso soup, tofu dilutes the soup a little bit so you might want to add ½ Tbsp. more miso.
  • Add tofu to the soup. Stir gently without breaking the tofu.
  • Soak dried wakame in water to rehydrate for 10 minutes and drain well.
  • Put the wakame and green onion in each bowl.
  • Return the miso soup to a slight simmer until heated through and pour into the bowls. Be careful not to boil the miso soup because miso will lose flavor.
  • DONE
