Ingredients
10 parts dashi broth
- water1000 g
- dashi powder10 g
2 parts tofu
- tofu, cubed200 g
1 part miso
- miso paste100 g
Garnishes
- scallions, thinly sliced
- wakame seaweed
Method
Step 1: Make the broth
Add the water to a pot and bring to a . Add the dashi powder and stir until dissolved.
- Taste the broth — it should be seasoned and savory. Satisfying enough to want to keep tasting the broth. Add a bit more dashi powder if needed.
Step 2: Add the miso & tofu
Add in the miso paste and stir until it is dissolved and no chunks remain. A whisk can help break up any chunks. Taste the broth. If you want a bit more sweetness and umami, add a bit more miso until you are happy with the flavor.
Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes and add to the broth. The amount here is really up to your personal preference, so if you want more tofu, go for it.
Step 3: Garnish & serve
Finish with garnishes of choice. Wakame seaweed is classic. It rehydrates in the broth. Add a handful or however much you want.
Turn off the heat and add sliced scallions for color and freshness. Ladle into bowls and enjoy warm.
