Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Dashi powder (bonito-based or kombu-based for vegetarian)
- 3 tablespoons White miso paste
- 2 stalks Green onions (scallions), finely sliced
- 0.5 inch Fresh ginger, thinly sliced
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized pot, add 4 cups of water and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 2
Once boiling, reduce heat to low and add 1 teaspoon of dashi powder. Stir until the powder is fully dissolved.
Step 3
Turn the heat down to a simmer and add the thinly sliced fresh ginger. Let it steep for 2-3 minutes to infuse the broth with its flavor.
Step 4
In a small bowl, ladle a small amount of the hot broth and mix it with 3 tablespoons of white miso paste until it forms a smooth consistency.
Step 5
Gradually return the miso paste mixture into the pot while stirring to avoid lumps. Do not let the broth boil after adding miso, as this can diminish its flavor and probiotics.
Step 6
Taste the broth and add a pinch of sea salt if needed (optional).
Step 7
Remove from heat and garnish with finely sliced green onions just before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm as is or use as a base for additional low-carb toppings such as soft tofu or wakame seaweed.
