Ingredients
- 250 grams Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 150 grams Fresh spinach
- 3 tablespoons Miso paste (white or yellow)
- 4 cups Dashi stock
- 2 stalks Green onions (chopped)
- 100 grams Firm tofu (cubed)
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Seaweed (wakame, optional)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing all the ingredients. Wash the spinach thoroughly and trim off any tough stems. Peel and devein the shrimp if not already done.
Step 2
In a medium pot, bring the dashi stock and water to a gentle boil.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the cubed tofu to the pot and let it simmer for about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the peeled shrimp to the pot and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.
Step 5
Turn the heat down to low. Scoop out about 1/2 cup of hot broth from the pot and stir it into the miso paste in a small bowl until smooth. This helps dissolve the miso paste without clumping.
Step 6
Stir the dissolved miso back into the pot. Avoid boiling the soup after adding miso, as this can affect the flavor and texture.
Step 7
Add the spinach leaves, wakame (if using), and soy sauce. Stir gently until the spinach wilts, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 8
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add a bit more soy sauce or a drop of sesame oil for added flavor.
Step 9
Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped green onions. Enjoy!
