Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

• 4 cups water

• 1 teaspoon dashi powder or 1 tablespoon dashi granules

• 2–3 tablespoons miso paste (white or red)

• ½ cup soft tofu (cubed)

• 1 tablespoon dried wakame seaweed

• 1 green onion (sliced)

?‍? Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Broth

Bring water to a gentle simmer.
Add dashi powder and stir until dissolved.

2️⃣ Add Tofu & Seaweed

Add cubed tofu and dried wakame.
Simmer for 2–3 minutes (do not boil hard).

3️⃣ Add Miso (Important!)

Turn heat to low.
Place miso paste in a ladle, dip it into the broth, and stir until dissolved.

⚠️ Do not boil after adding miso — it reduces flavor and nutrients.

4️⃣ Finish

Add sliced green onions and serve warm.

? Optional Add-Ins

• Mushrooms

• Spinach

• Clams

• Thinly sliced daikon

• Silken tofu for softer texture

⭐ Pro Tip

For more authentic flavor, use kombu + bonito flakes to make fresh dashi instead of powder.
