Warm and comforting, miso soup is a staple in Japanese cuisine that perfectly balances umami flavors with a hint of saltiness. This simple yet nourishing recipe will transport you to a cozy izakaya with every slurp!
Ingredients:
- 4 cups dashi broth (or vegetable broth) (find my broth recipes HERE and HERE)
- 3 tablespoons miso paste (white or red, depending on your preference)
- 1 cup silken tofu, cubed
- 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
- 1 cup seaweed (wakame), rehydrated
- Optional: mushrooms, daikon radish, or other vegetables of your choice
Instructions:
1. In a medium saucepan, bring the dashi broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix the miso paste with a ladle of the warm broth until smooth, then stir it back into the pot.
3. Add the cubed tofu and rehydrated seaweed, and let them warm through for about 2-3 minutes.
4. If using additional vegetables, add them to the pot and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and stir in the sliced green onions before serving. Enjoy your homemade miso soup hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired!
