Japanese Miso Soup with Wakame and Tofu

Ingredients

• 4 cups dashi stock
• 3 tablespoons miso paste
• 1 cup tofu, cut into small cubes
• 2 tablespoons dried wakame
• 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced

Method

1. 01
   In a medium saucepan, bring the dashi stock to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
2. 02
   Add the dried wakame to the dashi stock and allow it to rehydrate for about 3-5 minutes.
3. 03
   Reduce the heat to low and add the tofu cubes, heating them gently in the broth.
4. 04
   In a small bowl, dissolve the miso paste by mixing it with a ladle of hot dashi until smooth.
5. 05
   Add the dissolved miso back into the saucepan, stirring gently to combine without boiling.
6. 06
   Once the miso is fully incorporated, remove the soup from heat immediately to prevent the miso from losing its flavor.
7. 07
   Serve the miso soup hot, garnishing each bowl with a sprinkle of sliced green onions.
