Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups dashi broth
  • 3 tbsp miso paste
  • 7 oz soft tofu cubed
  • 2 tbsp dried wakame rehydrated
  • 2 tbsp green onion sliced

  1. Heat the dashi broth in a pot until steaming but not boiling.
  2. Ladle a little broth into a bowl and whisk in the miso paste until smooth.
  3. Stir the miso mixture back into the pot.

Notes

Never boil after adding miso; high heat dulls its delicate flavor.
