Classic Japanese Miso Soup
Ingredients
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 (4 inch) piece dashi kombu (dried kelp)
  • 1/2 cup bonito flakes
  • 1/2 (12 ounce) package tofu, cut into chunks
  • 1 teaspoon dried wakame
  • 3 tablespoons miso paste
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
Instructions
1
Heat a substantial amount of water in a large cooking vessel over a low flame. Introduce kombu into the pot and continue to cook until the water is just starting to boil gently. Stir in dashi flakes, then take the pot off the heat source. Allow the dashi stock to rest, uncovered, for 5 minutes before proceeding.

Bring 3.5 cups of dashi stock to a simmer in a larger pot over medium heat. Add cubed tofu and wakame seaweed, mixing them together thoroughly. Remove 1 cup of warmed dashi stock from the pot and transfer it to a small container. Whisk in miso paste until well combined, then pour the mixture back into the pot with the remaining dashi stock. Continue to heat the mixture until it reaches a warm temperature. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.
