Join me and let's see 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.
  • Step 4
  • Add the cubed tofu to the simmering stock and let it cook for a few minutes until it's heated through.
  • Step 5
  • Stir in the miso paste mixture, making sure it dissolves completely into the stock. You can use a fine-mesh strainer to prevent any lumps.
  • Step 6
  • Add the seaweed strips to the soup and let them soften for a minute or two.
  • Step 7
  • If desired, add soy sauce and mirin for extra depth of flavor.
  • Step 8
  • Remove the soup from heat and stir in the sliced green onions.
  • Step 9
  • Optionally, drizzle with a bit of sesame oil for a fragrant finish.
  • Step 10
  • Serve your homemade miso soup hot in bowls, and enjoy this comforting Japanese classic!
