5-Minute Miso Soup Recipe
Description
The 5-Minute Miso Soup Recipe uses a base of dashi broth, or mushroom broth for a vegan option, combined with white miso paste that is gently whisked in off the heat to preserve its nuanced flavors. Soft tofu cubes contribute a tender bite, complemented by chopped nori seaweed which lends a subtle marine savor. Fresh green onions add brightness and a mild sharpness once stirred in. This soup is simmered briefly then served immediately to maintain the delicate balance of flavors.
Its smooth broth and soft ingredients make it a light but satisfying dish that can warm the palate without heaviness. Commonly served as an appetizer or a light accompaniment, this soup fits well alongside Japanese or fusion meals but may stand alone for a simple snack.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, with flavors slightly melding over time. Reheat gently to avoid boiling off the miso's subtlety.
Ingredients
- 1 quart dashi broth or mushroom broth for vegan recipe
- 1/2 cup White miso paste
- 3/4 cup tofu diced, firm
- 2 Nori sheets dried seaweed sheets
- 1/2 cup green onion scallions, chopped
Instructions
- Place the dashi or mushroom broth in a large stockpot. Add 1 quart of water, cover, and bring to a boil.
- While the broth is coming to a boil, dry the tofu with paper towels and dice. Then cut the nori sheets into small 1/4-inch pieces with kitchen shears. Chop the green onions.
- Once the broth reaches a boil, turn off the heat and whisk in the miso paste. Once dissolved, add the tofu, nori, and green onions. Stir and serve.
Notes
- Leftover miso soup keeps well for up to 3 days refrigerated in an airtight container.
