Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Dashi granules
- 2 tablespoons Miso paste
- 200 grams Silken tofu
- 2 tablespoons Wakame seaweed
- 2 stalks Green onions (scallions)
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
Directions
Step 1
Start by soaking the wakame seaweed in a small bowl of water for about 5 minutes to rehydrate it. Once soft, drain the water and set the wakame aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 3
Add 1 teaspoon of dashi granules to the water and stir until fully dissolved.
Step 4
Dice the silken tofu into small cubes, approximately half-inch in size, and add them to the simmering dashi broth.
Step 5
Add the rehydrated wakame and 1 cup of fresh spinach leaves to the broth and continue to simmer for another 3 minutes.
Step 6
In a separate small bowl, add 2 tablespoons of miso paste. Ladle a small amount of hot broth into the bowl with the miso to dissolve it, stirring the mixture until smooth. This helps prevent clumps in the soup.
Step 7
Remove the soup from heat and stir in the dissolved miso. Avoid boiling the soup once miso is added, as this can diminish its flavor and nutritional properties.
Step 8
Finely slice the green onions (scallions) and sprinkle them over the soup before serving.
Step 9
Serve the soup hot in individual bowls, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
