How to Make Miso Soup

Instructions

Step 1

Start by preparing the dashi stock. You can use store-bought dashi granules or make it from scratch by simmering kombu seaweed and dried bonito flakes in water for about 15 minutes. Strain and reserve 4 cups of the stock.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the miso paste with a small amount of the dashi stock to create a smooth paste.

Step 3

Return the dashi stock to a clean pot and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Be careful not to boil it vigorously, as it can affect the flavor.
