Simple Restaurant Miso Soup

@arecipe.bsky.social

This miso soup is a close approximation of what you get in most cheap western Japanese restaurants. All ingredients are to taste; the primary thing is the ratio of miso to dashi.

Yield 1

Ingredients

  • 250 ml (1 cup) dashi
  • 5 pieces of wakame
  • A few 1 cm cubes of medium-firm tofu
  • 1 tablespoon (about 15 ml) miso paste (either white, red, or a mixture)

Instructions

  1. 1
    Heat the dashi to a light simmer.
  2. 2
    While this is heating, lay out your bowl and place the wakame and tofu in the bottom.
  3. 3
    When the dashi simmers, take a ladle or so of liquid aside and mix it with the miso paste.
  4. 4
    Remove the pot of dashi from the stove and stir in the miso mixture.
  5. 5
    Ladle the prepared soup into the bowl and serve.
