Ingredients

4 servings
  • 4 cup dashi stock (or water)
  • 4 tbsp white or red miso paste
  • 8 oz silken tofu (cubed)
  • 1 tbsp dried wakame seaweed (rehydrated)
  • 3 green onions (thinly sliced)

How to Make It

  1. 1

    Bring dashi to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Do not boil.

  2. 2

    Place miso paste in a ladle and lower into the dashi. Dissolve with a spoon, letting it mix into the soup gradually.

  3. 3

    Add tofu and rehydrated wakame. Heat gently 1-2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Never boil miso soup — it kills the beneficial cultures and dulls the flavor.

  5. 5

    Ladle into bowls and garnish with green onions. Serve immediately.
