Ingredients
- 5 cups water
- 2 1/2 tsp hon-dashi - instant dashi powder
- 5 Tbsp shiro miso - you can use Aka (red) miso if you want a stronger taste.
- 2 oz extra firm tofu - diced
- pinch dried wakame
- green onion - sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- If you are adding wakame, bring a small amount of water to boil. Add a pinch of dried wakame. You won't believe how much it expands. It's crazy. Strain it, slice it up and set it aside. Discard the water.
- Add the hon-dashi to 5 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Let boil for a minute or two.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Put the miso in a small mesh strainer. Now lower it into the broth but keep the top above the surface. Use some chopsticks to stir the miso, pushing it through the strainer. No lumps!
- Add the diced tofu and reconstituted wakame if using.
- Garnish with sliced green onion. Serve. Enjoy.
