Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups water cold
- 2.85 oz tofu soft or silken kind
- ⅓ cup bonito flakes (aka smoked skipjack tuna flakes)
- 2 tablespoon yellow miso paste reduced-sodium kind
- 4 pieces kombu (aka dried kelp)
- 0.10 oz wakame dried seaweed
- ½ green onion finely chopped as an optional garnish
Instructions
- Carefully remove soft tofu from packaging and strain excess liquids (see blog post under "Expert Tips" to smoothly remove the soft tofu if guidance is needed).
- Then slice tofu into small cubes with a sharp knife, about 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm each. Tip: Do not cut the tofu into large cubes as this doesn't taste as great in the miso soup.
- Next in a small pot, add cold water, dried kelp and bonito flakes. Then cover and bring to boil on medium-high heat, uncovered.
- As soon as it boils, only remove kelp to prevent the broth from becoming bitter in taste.
- Then over very low heat, cover and simmer the broth for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, place a clean paper towel into a fine sieve and rest it over a large measuring cup or bowl.
- Uncover and strain out the broth through the paper towel and fine sieve. Do not strain the broth without a paper towel or a fine sieve or it won't catch all the flakes. Pour this homemade dashi broth back into the pot.
- On medium heat, mix the miso paste into the dashi broth until combined with a whisk to break down the paste more quickly.
- Stir in dried wakame seaweed and allow it to expand. Then gently add diced tofu. Finally serve and garnish with green onions and enjoy!
