👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Soak the dried wakame in water for 5 minutes until it expands, then drain
- 2 Bring water to a boil, add the dashi powder (or steep the kombu for 10 minutes, remove it, add katsuobushi, then strain)
- 3 Add the cubed tofu and cook for 2 minutes
- 4 Add the wakame and enoki mushrooms if using
- 5 Turn off the heat — this step is important!
- 6 Scoop 2-3 tbsp of the hot broth into a small bowl
- 7 Dissolve the miso paste in that small bowl until smooth
- 8 Pour the miso mixture back into the pot and stir well
- 9 Don't let it boil again after adding the miso — this is what makes miso soup lose its flavor
- 10 Add the spinach if using, and stir until wilted
- 11 Serve in bowls and sprinkle with green onions
💡 Tips
• DON'T boil the miso — always turn off the heat first before dissolving it in
• Silken tofu works best because of its soft texture
• Miso soup is a side dish — it's always served alongside rice and a main dish
