Equipment

  • 1 Small Soup Pot
  • Whisk

Ingredients

  • 4 Cups Awase Dashi
  • 1/4 Cup Miso Paste
  • 8 oz. Soft/Silken Tofu (Kinugoshi Dofu)
  • 2 Tbsp. Dried Wakame Seaweed
  • 1 Green onion
  • 8 Slices Kamaboko (fish cake)

Instructions

  • Prepare the ingredients by preparing the dashi, dicing the green onion, and cutting the tofu into 1/2 (1 cm) cubes.
  • Bring the dashi to a simmer on medium heat. Once the dashi comes to a boil, turn off the heat.
  • In a separate bowl, mix a couple ladles of the hot broth with the miso paste and stir until the miso paste is dissolved. Once dissolved, add the miso and broth mixture to the soup.
  • Add small amounts at a time of miso paste to the dashi. Stir to dissolve until the miso paste is fully dissolved before adding more. You can use a fine mesh strainer to help you dissolve the miso paste into the dashi.
  • Add the tofu, kamaboko, diced green onion, and the dried wakame seaweed to the miso soup and gently stir in to combine for a minute or two. Tip: Make sure you are ready to serve the soup prior to adding these last few ingredients as it's best when they are freshly added.
  • Serve and enjoy!
