Ingredients
4 cups water or vegetable broth
1 6-inch (15 cm) pieces Japanese kombu or dried kelp, rinsed
1 oz. (30 g) dried, shaved bonito flakes
1 oz. (30 g) dried seaweed, soaked in warm water and drained or spinach
4 oz. (115 g) silken tofu, cut into small pieces
2 1/2 - 3 tablespoons white or red miso paste (Red gives you a much richer flavor but if you prefer a lighter flavor using the white miso will be perfect.
1 tablespoon chopped scallion
Instructions
1. Bring the water and kombu to boil in a stock pot on medium heat. Remove the kombu and add the bonito flakes, simmer on low heat for 5 minutes. Remove the foams and scums on the surface using a ladle.
2. Strain the dashi through a fine sieve. Do not squeeze or press the bonito flakes. Discard the bonito flakes. Bring the dashi to boil, then add the seaweed and tofu and cook for 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the miso paste into the soup. Stir the soup with a pair of chopsticks until the miso paste is completely dissolved. Top with the scallion and serve immediately.
