ingredients
- hondashi
- miso paste
- tofu (firm or extra firm)
- green onions
- wakame (dried)
steps
- Chop the tofu into very small cubes. (smaller = better)
- Chop the green onions.
- Bring some water to a boil.
- Add hondashi to the boiling water according to the instructions on the package.
- Add the tofu and wakame to the pot and boil until wakame has fully expanded (about 5 minutes).
- Add miso paste and turn off the heat. (Do not boil the miso paste.)
troubleshooting
- Hondashi is a fish broth base. For a vegan alternative, acquire some kombu and boil for 20 minutes to make kombu dashi.
- If you’re not sure what kind to get, I recommend Hikari white or low-sodium miso paste to start with.
pairings
- Japanese breakfast: miso soup + grilled salmon + rice
- Eat with soba noodles or rice
