Miso soup
Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup made from a combination of miso paste and dashi broth, along with ingredients like tofu, seaweed, and green onions. It's known for its savory, umami flavor and is often enjoyed as a starter in Japanese cuisine.
Ingredients
- 4 cups dashi broth (you can use instant dashi or make your own by boiling kombu and bonito flakes)
- 4 tablespoons miso paste (white or red depending on your preference)
- 1 block tofu cut into small cubes
- 2-3 green onions chopped
- 2-3 sheets nori seaweed cut into small strips
Optional:
- mushrooms sliced
- wakame seaweed
- cooked shrimp or any other ingredients you like
Instructions
- In a pot, bring the dashi broth to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- In a small bowl, dilute the miso paste with some of the hot broth to make it easier to mix.
- Add the diluted miso paste to the pot and stir well to combine. Be careful not to boil the miso, as it can lose its flavor.
- Add the tofu cubes and any other ingredients you'd like to include in the soup. Cook for a few minutes until the tofu is heated through.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the chopped green onions.
- Serve the miso soup hot, garnished with nori strips on top.
- Enjoy!
